VW has not confirmed whether it will or will not bring it to the US, but if it does i might have to sign up for it!

270hp 2.0t, revised haldex AWD that uses TPS vs the old systems wheel slip to engage the rear clutch type diff. so now under standing start launches the system will already be engaged.

0-62mph 5.7 seconds for the 6speed manual
5.5 for the DSG transmission

i really hope this comes here, it might keep me in a VW since they finally are putting the AWD system in a turbo 4cyl chassis. and using an engine that has already made 600hp on the stock cylinder head :thumbup

so is this the new “.:R32” or just a new model in the golf line-up? sick car either way

3

new R model. VW had talked of a Mk5 .:R20, and this is basically it. but the new haldex is way better than the previous. the new 2.0T Tsi engine int he golf R also has beefier rods, bigger head bolts, and beefier mains than other 2.0T variations.

im sure pricing will be up in the Evo/Sti range, but atleast now it will be a competitor compared to the sluggish Mk5 .:FAIL32

a reflash and a turbo back and the Golf R will likely be a real peppy car.

very cool . mk6’s have never done it for me as far as exterior goes til i saw this car.

5

yea wow this car sounds great

oh wait… VW sent out a press release saying this car will be here in fed. of 2010 BUUUTTTTT

it is only coming in front wheel drive and only with 250 hp, not AWD with 260

but our will be priced under $30k

FYI we just got 2 new GTI’s at langan friday… white with the plaid interior… they are pure sex

:gay:down:retardclap:Idiots:facepalm

i think that about does it

VWoA is such a failure, just like their bright idea to bring the mk5 R32 only in DSG, then wonder why sales were mediocre.

7

Looks pretty pimp.

8

Beautiful car! The only downside would most likely be the price if they bring it stateside. I cant see paying over 26K for this car, However based on pricing i might have to trade in the speed :slight_smile:

9

i like the mk6, i’ll prolly test drive one.

umm, no haldex for u.s is no good.

i’d like one, their interiors are AWESOME.

10

so basically just a more powerfull gti then. not this car at all.

11

Hmm, you have any pics? Sounds different…

apr stg3 gti that was at WF this summer.

this is prolly one of my most favorite mk6’s out at the moment.

would look nice next to my evo =). pipeeeeee dreammmm

13

I really like this front end on this vdub

14

hmm its early but it looks a bit like the new schracco?

anyways its veryyy nice…

to bad VWOA is going to fuck it up for us

15

16

it drives exactly to the same as the mk5… same chassis and engine

17

Interlagos plaid FTW!

Seriously, I hate the design of this.
The rear end looks like a damn Tiguan/Touareg.

And yeah 'Kenzie, the front end resembles the new Scirocco.

18

There’s a white one staring at me. I think it wants to fight. Help :frowning:

19

It’ll kick your ass. No joke.
Or just park the Evo staring back at it.
Then it’ll run and cry in a corner.

20

Evo isn’t allowed inside at work :frowning:
