Sorry but you cant replace a beautiful sounding quick :driver:R32

AFAIK, they can't get the 3.2 to meet the new Euro emissions requirements.

I was all set for one of these too... until I stupidly took my other half down to VW for some parts and had a look at the Tiguan. She has her heart set on one of those now :duh:
At least I can save some money I suppose...

Different motor, it's a 60 degree V not a narrow angle and has FSI so it's much easier to meet the Euro standards.
The MkIV and to a lesser extent the MkV R32s will go down as classics. :):D

Placed my order this morning. I'll be the 1st in Brisbane to have one :biggrin: .... 18 to 24 months from now.

Std GTI MK6 due in December/January in Australia, R20 due 6 - 12 months later. And the dealer confirmed it will be AWD (4Motion).

The dealer happily took my deposit and conditions.

1. I am unhappy with the price at release
2. The vehicle is confirmed not to be released in Australia
3. Subject to Finance approval.

Conditions as above, except for a delivery timeframe as 18months as it may be a little bit longer than that :frown:

AND yes, I made AWD a condition.:) I ordered 5 door, but will settle for 3drs if that is all it will come with.

The R20T (they looked up some brief specs) will have 270HP = 200kw.
