    Motor magazine - heaps of VW content

    Hi all.
    This month's motor has some good VW stuff in it.

    There's a comparison between the Golf IV and VI GTIs that shows how far the brand has come in 10 years, it is part of a feature on 2000-model cars vs their 2010 equivalents. WRX, Boxster and HSV also feature here.

    The staff there also voted VW as the number best brand for the 2000-09 decade and DSG as the best new technology (though wrongly saying it debuted on the MkIV R32).

    That should be a good read, do they compare the new wrx to the mk6 gti?

    It is in the mk4 r32, just not in Aus I'm pretty sure..
