You'd be desperately back peddling on your order right now, eh!!!

Sounds funny. Germany is really pushing the uber-hatch. Can't wait for the 1/2M and RS3

so the pecking order of the MK7 Golf line up could potentially be:

Golf R Evo
Golf R
Golf GTI Edition 40
Golf GTI Performance
Golf GTI

hmm, does seem like a large number of models!

This is exactly why they are encrypting ECUs so they can push people to the higher powered models

I would not be surprised if this is priced north of £40k with all the special weight saving material they are talking about it having. That may focus your mind a little

Some good points made here esp. regarding the locking down of the ECU and VW charging a premium for a "better" model.

It would be VERY interesting to see whether the R and R Evo (if they do indeed put it forward) make exactly the same power after a decent tuner had been given time "unlocking" them both to full potential.  Or infact the Evo went on to make another 50+bhp... so the premium price was truly based on hardware.
