Don’t think they’ll make it, David. Deemed to be too likely to offend the D Mail by being enjoyable to drive. As an illustration of what is happening to the list, when I was choosing last scheme car just before end of 2019, my shortlist included:
Audi Q2 40tfsi Quattro
Merc A Class a220 4matic
VW T Roc 2.0L tsi 4 motion
Audi a4 diesel 40tdi Quattro
Alfa Giulia
All of them (and a few other “enjoyable” vehicles) left the scheme at turn of year. Like the VRS and the GTD I don’t think you’ll see them on list.
The really pathetic thing is that the exclusions seem to have been chosen on names: anything with “quattro” or “4 motion” or “4matic” or “gti” or “VRS” is gone from list regardless of bhp/performance. Their names just sound hot. They even ban the Polo GTI although it is much cheaper, slower and less powerful than one or two others on the scheme which retain a bit of enjoyment.
