Looks like a really nice R36 replacement, same acceleration in a nicer design and with better fuel economy (assuming it'll be ~7L/100km)..

Though, 9 years later I'm itching for something a bit faster ...and electric (or PHEV at least). I think I'll personally hold out and wait to see if they release new engine options over the next year or so.

Can't wait for mine... i should be first in the first shipment coming to Aus in Sept/Oct!

[nermal]

Does anyone know if they'll be appearing in showrooms before the October launch?

- not sure how the whole new model release date thing works with VW..

[Mr_206]

I've been told they will be arriving Sept, so thats when you will be able to see one
