Whether it will have 4WD is another story. :popcornsoda:

....So that suggests that a Golf Mk7 won't be shown until September 2012 (at Paris show as usual) at the very earliest.

VW entered the WRC with a 1.6 Turbo'd Polo R "cos it fits with their forthcoming global marketing plans"

So I'm hoping they will indeed do a road going 1.6T 4WD Polo R to fulfil that blurb!!!

....So where's the road version of the Golf with the stunning 5-pot 2.5 litre RS engine as used in the Nurburgring 24?

We live in hope but I ain't holding my breath!

Well they delivered the year before with the Scirocco R didn't they  :laugh:

This years Golf 24 is a bit more mental but who knows what they're planning. Just know reading the WRC entry blurb there's a good chance of a road based version happening!
