Is the R built on the same production line as other Golfs?

If so I'd be surprised if build weeks were allocted by model of car. It's (generally) just not the way modern production lines with just-in-time manufacturing work.

I've not toured the factory at Wolfsburg, so perhaps it is different, but with MINI (much less volume admittedly) at any point on the Oxford line they could have a LDH Cooper, followed by a RHD Cooper S convertible, then a RHD Cooper S hardtop and so on. There is no order to the way the models are built. It's pretty cool to see actually.
