Golf R 3 door/5 door speculation/information thread

[dave_r]

Feb release? Why would they release the specs and price in Feb for a car not due to May/June/July?

So they can pre-sell the innitial stock!

What he said, but because I'm sure I'd read last year that info would be released in Feb. Not to mention the fact that my dealer at the time of pre-order informed me that they were being told the final spec and pricing in Feb. I need to pull the finger out and make a call.

Additionally, its great that the R has an additional pump for the haldex system to push drive to the rear prior to any actual slip, longer term: will this pump be reliable?

That's what warranty is for, then sell to someone else and move onto something better
