Probably didn't explain myself very well with that last post (still suffering from the shock of the pricing I guess
)..
Totally agree with you TC (and Red) as it's all about aiming it at the right market, not some DC racing outlaw that like Santa Pod to much
. But believe it or not, i'm not really refering to the power/weight as such. But more on the original quote from VW saying that they have ditched the V6 and gone for a lighter 2.0T to save on weight etc (and more importantly emissions obviously) so it will weigh in at a fair amount less than the R32, when it clearly doesn't.
We all know that the R32's biggest problem was that it was pie eating champion of the Hot hatches
. Even though it was still a great all rounder.
VW have never been renowned for producing lighweight 1/4 mile cars, that's for sure. I just think that the executive comfy cruiser market that they appear to be targeting is just wrong. Especially when it is going to cost more than it's more executive cousin the S3..
All IMO of course
