Can't believe there has been no discussion on this in 17 days! :o
After having my Oettinger/APR MKV GTI written off when a bus rear-ended me, I was all intent on placing an order for the MK6 GTI.... until I saw this.
Now my plan is to wait until it is shown at the show in Frankfurt and then make my decision between this and the GTI. I'm leaning towards the GTI-R except I also saw a news article a few weeks ago which said it might end up being a 'stripped out' version of the GTI focusing light weight....
... so I really want to wait until we know some concrete details :)
I think it's a good call to replace the V6 with a 2lT. I do love my R32, but if the R20 is significantly lighter, it will be truely awesome! I'd say that's one of the R32s shortcomings. It's just a bit too heavy and therefore not that quick, especially for 55k. It would struggle to keep up with a standard WRX, let alone the Sti. So I think 200kw and a big of a diet will see it become a direct competitor to the Evo/Sti etc.
Some new rumours/confirmation today!Quote:

No idea what it will be called, but I guess GTI-R or 'R' GTI is the next best guess. Great news that AWD has been confirmed.

They are painting a muddy picture all right !!
Ah bugger, maybe my thread title needs changing to "AWD MKVI" or "Whatever VW call the R32 replacement..."
