why no 3dr GTi?

It comes down to cost management / cost control.

The wing on the R is massive for Vw. Very Clubsport. I much prefer the gti though. I bet the TCR will have that wing.

I think it looks quite good with the wide mouthed lower grille spilt into three sections - IMO, much better than the lower grille on the GTI, although I think the rear end looks very mpv-like (not just the R; the mk8 in general). Sadly, the angled body coloured sections in the lower grille appear to be camouflage, hiding what’s underneath (you/can see they’re taped on camouflage in the 21st of the 29 pictures in the link posted by Fred), so the production version might not look as good. Hopefully it’ll not just be another all-black wide mouth like the GTI / GTD / GTE versions have.
