Reply With QuoteI'm hoping the R will come with 2 and AWD options, manual and DSG, 3 and 5 door options (until the new sirocco emerges anyway) and starts at 48k.
If it does, then that will be probably be my next upgrade in 2015. Either that or the new Jag XS

I think we might have to thank Mercedes for the sanity check
So where does that put the Golf R with some decent options?

The R will only be AWD, if you want a 2wd (FWD) version you would buy a gti or a scirocco.I'm hoping the R will come with 2 and AWD options, manual and DSG, 3 and 5 door options (until the new sirocco emerges anyway) and starts at 48k.

It's highly likley to be both auto and manual and both door options.
Not sure how having that much choice will make it a certain upgrade for you since you can't have both 3/5 door or manual/auto or 2wd/awd.

I meant the price starting at $48k. They also stopped the 3 door R when the Scirocco was brought in, so it's not a given.
Just wonder what options/standard gear will be in as well.

Alright folks, the new R.
The images below are what the Concept 1 car looks like (000111010011VWGOLFR). For those who don't know how VW names its concepts, this is as close to the actual production car that you can get, sort of like the Golf MK7 GTI shown in Paris. Called a concept but 99.9% the real thing.
I would ask that you do NOT copy these images and use them elsewhere, please look at them, and admire, in order to ensure that as many people as possible can see the new R. Thanks guys!

Front badge says R-Line, sounds like crap to me. If that 0.01% is fixing the Front and Back end I'd be very happy. Also only have two tailpipes on one side.

True that, VW will be keeping the front and rear bumpers however... Could change you never know...
And Im sure the rear lights will be from the GTI too... But this is the best idea we have at the moment... Oh and it WILL have quad-exhausts, I just remembered...

Any idea on the Aus Spec R getting auto-folding mirrors and/or keyless entry/push to start, or is it too far out to know (if so what about the GTI then)? Here's to hoping the 213kw+ engine doesn't get detuned this time around. What do we reckon late Q2 2014 for the AU launch date, assuming the GTI is out Sept/Oct and the R will be on sale in Europe by the years end?
Thanks.
