U.S. mk7 Release?

Did previous GTIs lag behind Golfs here in the US?

As far as I can remember, I don't believe the Golf and the GTI have ever showed up at the same time, at least here in Canada. And, I'm pretty sure that the MkIV GTI was here (6 months?) before regular Golf. (But I'm old and may have brain-fade).

The MK6s came here at (pretty much) the same time.

The Golf has always been introduced later in the USA. How far back do you want to go? The original Golf was introduced in Europe in June 1974, in the US and Canada seven months later as the Rabbit. And of course, it took six years before we got the original GTI.
