Golf R drive invitaion

Bit disappointing as I thought it was a track day like when the time the GTI was introduced. Not sure what benefit they hope to gain from a casual test drive around the block. Would have been better having the opportunity to throw it around a track.

it's clearly marketing fluff from VW...

Was it lost in the mail? Most of us had our test drives done before the actual launch date LOL. Quality marketing hehe

I got one as well - it would be probably a better idea for them to drive my "R" :)

Got one in the mail too - tells me to visit a dealer, no track day - just marketing.

I recommend that those who receive the invitation use the invitation. This shows to VW that the marketing is working and then they'll do more, and likely more interesting and interactive things.
