I don't know about you other people and your whereabouts, but in Bergen County, NJ, the GTi has become as common as a Honda Civic. I remember being one of the first people in my area with one and the next thing I know, everyone and their mother (yeah my mom has one, too!!) has a GTi. It's scary. I never thought I'd see the day. I even know people who bought one just because they liked the way mine looked. Anyway, I'm in the new car market again. What's the deal with this Silverstone Metallic color? Will it look hot on a GTi and will the '03's have Monte Carlos again? Thanks.

If you had a silver 540i, you would see a ton of them too.
When I got my 91 4runner, that's all I saw.
The GTI is still cool, no matter how many you see.
And there are plenty of people out there who see there VW as nothing more than transportation.
We see then very different.
My 2 cents

Who cares if there is 50,000 MK4 GTI running around, thats the beauty of personally modding your GTI!

Many people do use there VWs for transportation. I still don't see the VWs racing around left and right like the Hondas and Acuras.

Re: Sadly, the GTi has become officially played out (jorlando)
Cliffside Park, bro....
You MK2 people scoping out the scene obviously have nothing else better to do. Go back to the MK2 forum and talk about installing fubas and installing rallye grilles. HAHA...just kiddin...I've been there, too. My Jetta Coupe represents your forum, so gimme a little respect. I graduated to the MK4's. Too many Gti's isn't that bad, but when you see black MK4 GTI's w/ fire painted on the sides of them, you gotta shake your head in disbelief. If you are out there, dude.....go to a body shop first thing in the morning and wipe that shyte off, bro. I miss the hardcore GTI owner.......they're all posuers now.....whatta shame..........

Played out?
I know ZERO GTI's in my area. And only 2 Golf's and they are not GTI's...both red, both 2.0's, and both are driven by old ladies

VW's are here and there around my area.But i have only seen a couple like mine with the beautiful Longbeach rims and a 1.8T.Everytime i go by another Jetta,they just stare in awe at my rims.It really does make the whole car look different.I'am the only Cool White Jetta with Longbeach rims in my area,i think.

not just you. when i still had my ginster mk3 a few months ago on RT 70 i pulled up next to a white 4 door golf - full kit, 17"s, exhaust etc.. looked over and nodded and what did he do? gave me the dirtiest look and resumed his "gangsta lean"

Nope, they are discontinuing the Cabrio and bringing out a convertible NB.....

true, but the point remains, Buy ANY car and you will notice it alot more than when you didn't have it. It seems like all I see anymore are dubs (or ridiculously hot cars), but that is because it is all that I drive. Hence the "make it yours" mentality and mod the he11 out of your ride: but do it with style.Nope, they are discontinuing the Cabrio and bringing out a convertible NB.....

I am one of the only GTIs in my area. What sucks is the other one is a rave green like mine.

Oh, I get it. You just want to LOOK cool. Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just buy a lot of COOL clothes and walk around a lot?Re: Sadly, the GTi has become officially played out (dmkozak)
In MOntreal, we have more Golfs, GTI's, jettas per capita than anywhere else. They love VW here. Always have, always will. It's part of the culture here... I don't see that many modded cars, mind you.
When I first got my car in April 99, I could go days without seeing another GTI. People would stare and smile (thumbs up, etc) especially the MK3 owners...
True, those were the days....
Now I read these forums and I can't believe what levels (performance and appearance) people are taking their cars to... amazing.
