That’s not the base GTI. That is the equivalent to the 2017 “sport” trim which is between S and SE

2019
S
Rabbit Edition/Sport
SE
Autobahn.

From the article

"Of course, all this extra standard equipment does mean that the GTI's base price goes up. The only prices released so far are for the base S trim. The manual model starts at $28,490, and the dual-clutch automatic model begins at $29,590. That's a $1,180 increase for both trims. "

Again, this isn’t the base model.

S will have all of these features as OPTIONS.
Rabbit Edition is the 2017/MK7 “Sport” trim
SE
Autobahn

Rudy is saying that VW dropped the "base" model GTI (using 2017/2018 nomenclature) and instead is offering the 2017 Sport trim as the lowest level in the lineup.

He's doe because the lowest trim would be referred to as "base" trim

Other fun shit on the 2019 GTI:
-228 HP standard
-GoRf brakes standard
-7-DCT trans optional

Nice updates. With the 7-DCT and extra power it's probably faster than my car.

Yea, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Which is why most of us here got pay raises recently. Inflation is rampant

About time VW (of USA) finally stepped up to the plate. The previous gen Polo GTI only came with 7 speed DSG, when mk7 hit the market in Europe/Turkey, the regular Golf's that are ALL equipped with auto's get 7 speed dsg, yes even the 1.2 with 80 hp. It's a shame that VW's in Murica that aren't diesel or performance oriented cars still get the ancient slushbox that VW dumped for ROW cars once mk5's hit the market.

On the flipside I never found the 6 speed to be bad performing. It also seems relatively reliable with epic genii pushing 400whp through it, which is double the design spec.
