Has the MK7 R been around yet? Or did I miss the memo?

VW made a claim, never backed it up with any evidence.

fastestlaps.com shows 8:14 for the R, but there's no other info with it to say who was driving etc...

Aren't VW making a go faster GTI to go for the record themselves? The R won't count coz it's AWD.

Renault's swan song announced.

Ohlins, Akrapovic titanium 'zorst, PSCup2s all featuring on the options list. Seems they reckon it needs less power to achieve it than Seat too. Not bad for an old car.

I think there was some confusion as to whether it'd be offered as a real car, or not, seems it is.

Still have a soft spot for the Leon though  :happy2:

This, not so much..... although I'm sure it'd be a hoot to drive.

The show car (the Civic) looked pretty good, but that one is a bit of a munter.

Anyone else reckon the Megane will be hideously expensive? I reckon they'll struggle to shift 'em without a xenon headlamp option, too, as they're jolly popular these days...

Today at the SEAT Media day Jordi Gene took me around mallory park in a cupra 280 dsg... it was very very wet but he still pushed it very hard was quite scary at times.. i could see he has a hell of alot of confidence in the car..

then he took me around in the MK3 Leon Cupracer
