Launch for Mk6 GTi is.....or Mk6 stuff here!

If its 15-20 bhp down on the S3 then we are looking at 240-250bhp anyway. I know many of you may not agree but I still feel there is a R36 Golf in the pipeline somewhere... why bring out the R36 if they plan to kill off an engine??

^^^ Yes id be down dealers tomorow with a deposit

I seriously doubt there will be R36.
And why did they release R36 Passat?  Who is buying them at that price?

If the price of the r36 passat estate is cheap as chips nxt year, what a bargain that would be. i certainly wouldnt say no to another estate but a dam fast one!

[Mr Crabster]

Both AutoExpress and Autocar have tested the Mk6.  They concluded that the steering feel and road sense of the Mk6 was worse than the Mk5 in the version they tested.  They concluded the ride had gone executive.  This does not bode well for the Mk6 Gti...

So why develop a 3.6ltr engine stick it in a passat that hardly anyone will buy and then throw it in a scrap heap???

I presume the dates being quoted are for the German/Left Hand drive euro market release and we will be a few months behind???
