The info that VW have 'killed off' the R32 and 3.2 V6 has been known for some time.

The Mk6 GTI is expected to be at Paris Show soon in some form or another - Concept or example.

Don't hold your breath about a future "GTI-R AWD". Remember all the rumours about how certain the R36 Golf was going to be? It's all very logical to us enthusiasts but not necessarily logical or desirable to VW.

Bought Autocar today, not impressed I'm afraid, rear lights just don't work, interior looks like a mish mash from the Audi parts bin. Rear spoiler looks like a big lump of plastic stuck on the back.

I like the wheels though  :grin:

yes im loving that dashboard, all except the Vauxhall esk Vxr streering wheel  :sick: :sick:.

Very W12 looking and the picture i posted WAS  correct after all. They say spring release  in one mag and the other summer 09, so means it

will be january then!  :laugh:

207bhp, 10 more then before, same torque and performance figures as before. Agree with the black inner Monza II's.

Maybe id just like a Mk6 GTi in white nxt  :wink:

Both also say R later in 2009 aswell to confirm rumours
