R36...pre-ordered!!!

[Treza360]

That would be me.

Don't worry, I'll be there too as well at some stage. I'll try to get as many photos as I can before my crappy camera drains its' batteries. I'll probably spend most of the time loitering around the Ferrari stand though.
Can't wait until the R36s' start to get delivered and we can start to here some feedback.

Can any of you guys who are going to see it before me find out if there is a "flapper" similar to that on the R32?

I don't know how you'd crawl under the car without being kicked out though

And lots of photos of the interior pls......curious about the dash in-lay, hope its nicer than the concept dash.

Wish I could be there

Hi everyone, I've had one of these on order since mid last year so I'm glad it's all official finally.
Very dissapointed with the date though as my dealer told me I'd have it mid-april...

In any case, for those wanting a sound byte VW Individual has it on their website.

Go through the intro, click R36 preview, watch the commercial and click the sound bytes.
Doesn't sound anything like a R32, definately a lot meaner. Along with the whining DSG it sounds almost like a blown 8

[Steve]

Sounds good!

[Pullstarter]

Are these going to come out in sedan or wagon only?

Are these going to come out in sedan or wagon only?

Both. The covers were on two at the Motor show ... one of each.

nice seats







ncie gearknob as well, heated front and outer rear seats - yummy.

says expected 3rd quarter.. orders taken now.

[Vene]

Heated seats in Australia is probably not crucial but may come in handy. I'd like to see what the dash treatment looks like tho. Heard its different to the concept.
