You’ve never been able to get the MK7 in Carbon Black, that’s Isaac Blue.

Everybody's talking about digital dashes and headlights, but OP if you are looking at a DSG there is one fundamental difference to consider. The 7.5 GTI Performance (and 7.5 R) comes with the infinity better 7speed box, as opposed to the old 6sp found in all the 7's(GTI's and R)..
The boxes are night and day (both physically and implemented). Given the choice in your situation, I'd go GTI, the 7.5 adopted a lot of upgraded bits from the 7R (brakes etc), is lighter, has less of a negative 'image'. Also the subtle updates of the 7.5 (lights, bumpers, nav system) make it a much better proposition to own.
Personally, I picked a 7.5 GTI over a 7.5R, so I'd have no hesitation taking a 7.5GTI over a 7R... cue gratuitous shot of my 7.5 Performance which I picked up a couple of months ago...
Looks superb and makes me realise I don’t need to change my GTI.The boxes are night and day (both physically and implemented).

Beautiful spec car you've got there! I've had a good hard think about it and have decided to wait until July to see what prices are looking like then. Seeming the 8R/GTI have been somewhat leaked/announced might give me a bit of play in snagging a nice 7.5r. Thanks everyone for your comments, the 7.5GTI Performance seems to be a popular choice and they're really nice cars for the value I must say.The boxes are night and day (both physically and implemented).
