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. ---

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 🙂 ---
