MK8 Golf R release November 4

[Ozsko]

The carryover engine and different gearbox has been known for a long time.

While the US won't get regular Golf's anymore with Mk8, they used to get the torque converter in those models previously. We are the US now.

My prediction is that VW will drop all DSG installations because the reason for its existence is no longer there.

What's the "reason for its existence"?
