A nod to the fact the UK has become such a huge market for the R maybe? Or just convenient timing.
Funny how VW said at the mk7 launch they might not even bring the 7R to the UK because hardly anyone bought a 6R! How times change.

Everyone cross their fingers for a few months now to see if a silk purse can be made from a sow’s ear.

Just for fun (ok maybe not for everyone), found this virtual tour of the VW stand at the ill fated Geneva motor show.

That’s a great idea but not implemented very well. Great find though Guzzle. Thanks.
