Anyone know why the Special edition GTI with launch control is so much more in cost?

Because VW thinks a special paintjob and rims are worth it. They aren't and thus the Fahrenheit sits on lots.

Infiniti (read: Toyota)
 
Infiniti is a Nissan company, not Toyota. Toyota has Lexus, Honda has Acura...

"luxury should mean not having to worry about those kinds of repairs period."
 
For example, an '05 Accord vs '05 Passat. The Passat may need one more repair during the 3-yr lease period (i.e., ignition coil), the Accord suffers in ride comfort every single day! Which one would you pick to pamper you? The Accord also suffers in big turning circle that needs more backing up for 3 or 5 point turns.
 
"You must be a hobbit if you have driven any civic with a radio out of arms reach."
 
I'm 5'11 & am sick of cars designed by people w/ short legs. I always have to take off my shoes in order to gain some leg room. Otherwise, with the seat moved aft, I will have to stretch my arms & even lean forward in order to grab the steering, radio, etc. Even the Rabbit/Jetta had this problem from MkI to MkIV! The Focus & S40 fit me fine, but not quite so in the similar-twin -- the Mazda3. Let alone the new Civic coupe.

I doubt they're offering the Fahrenheit option across the pond (for fear of ridicule). This smacks of VWoA stupid marketdroid group-think, IMHO...

Infiniti = Nissan. I know that - really I do. I guess that's what happens when you try to post while you're on the phone. My bad.

well, its actually more than just a paint job.
 
farenheits aren't really all that much more expensive than some decked to the gills gti's and gli's: they include all the goodies standard, plus its a limited edition much like the r32, with a serial number and everything. Factor in the unique color, wheels, and interior trim and that tops off the price.
 
For some people its awesome, like most special editions are, and for others who aren't dubbers, its no biggie, or 'stupid'. But all the ones i've seen have been snatched up.

because its a decked to the gills special edition with exclusive everything.
 
the launch control thing is a bit misleading though, current 'regular' gti's have it as well, its even in the brochures you can get at the dealer that come with the dvd.
