MK6 Golf - The R32 is dead .... but a GTI-R LIVES !!!!

[JVLR32]

Nice but not for me! Still the R32s are a better car....and i agree with treza360...........

if this ends up being an S3 in VW clothing for around $55k id be happy to sign up! so long as they dont make it look as ugly as a hat full of a..oles that is

[GoLfMan]

thats AWESOMe!!!

i want one, how about the tuning ability of that thing, i hope the AWD can handle plenty of grunt

But it looks so ugly!!!!!!

Looks like one of those little enviro friendly things with 600cc motors!

[VW GTI]

This doesn't look as bad as the other render....



I want an S3, so if the GTI-R is actually called an R GTI and is as good as the S3 I'm in.

Thank god someone agrees. I think it's hideous. The mk1 is my number one love, and then the mk4... I'm really not liking this mk6! UGLY!

As a fan of the 6cyl in Golfs, im a little gutted its supposedly ending

I dont go much on the styling of the MkVI either. But in saying that i didnt like the look of the MkV when that was released and now i have become a big fan

Should be interesting as too see how many generations vw decide to do with the Golf.

MK1 is still the most desirable golf to date. style and funness GTI 112bhp in 800kgs..... fun fun fun

From what I understood the R32 was front heavy and didn't have any more usable power then a 2.0T would anyway, so I won't miss it in that regard, even if the VR6 wasn't called an R32, it's still more or less the same thing, the hot-rod version of the Golf, so it's been around for 15 years in Aus.

But the Mk6 looks better then the MkV I reckon. I remember seeing expected images of how it would look a year after the MkV came out and it still doesn't look much different to that...

You've obviously never been in one or heard an R32 then. Also ask broady69 what he thinks about the R32 now after my tailing him in his GTI on our little cruise on the weekend (and that was with me babying it into the corners due to my brakes being quite worn).
Don't bag it until you've tried. Also try a poll one which people on here would prefer to own and see what the results end up with.

With a 200kW 2.0 TFSI engine, AWD and a DSG... nothing in its class will be able to touch the Golf GTI-R... but... it'll lose some of the R32's character, the sound. Having said that... I'd definintley tap a Golf GTI-R...
