Well there ya go.. Going to be interesting to see what the kerb weight is, but a big  :congrats: to VW for not cutting costs I suppose...
Big  :sick: on the wheels from me though..
Quote " The 0 - 100km/h time should be covered in about 6.5 seconds for the 6-speed manual and 6.4 seconds for the DSG model. These figures compare very well with the Audi S3 and the TT S with which the Golf R shares its engine."
I'm assuming that is a typical VW conservative figure then, as that is proper slow what's basically a S3 with a different badge..  :confused:

Really glad it's 4wd and I love those rear lights! One million percent better than the ones on the current gti

I'd agree with you on that score. They couldn't have showed it in any other colour

Totally agree dude....DBP was made for the .:R's, everything else in the colour range is just pollution

....

It's what the Mk6 GTI should have been imo, but whatever badge it has I think it looks great and will hopefully mod very nicely.

I shan't be swopping mine though but if I was buying a Golf for the first time I'd be over the moon and full of lust.

There is no doubt I will be off to the dealership with several "bags of sand" in tow to place a deposit on this asap, but I don't feel as excited about the prospect of it as I thought I would  :confused:

I think that's down to the fact it's an R and not a GTI, I know that will sound very odd but the GTI brand just feels more special to me  :smiley:

Doesn't sound odd to me, Steve.

If they made a GTI Club Sport, R26-R style whorebag, I'd buy it at ANY cost. I wouldn't mind if it was 2WD, I wouldn't mind if it was 207BHP...

That's the GTI I want to buy and I'd step over that R to get to it. But that's never going to happen and I like what the R is doing.
Sideways yo!
