Nearly threw up there!! True it does resemble the astra steering wheel a little but one thing about the astra is you dont have to pay for that stuff (not like you should pay for cackk anyway) but it is useful and has good functionality.

Remove the Bling as RR put it and the steering looks very nice. One thing that origianlly attracted me to the Golf's over the Audi!

looks much better than the mk5, might have to have a look at the R later next year, that should should be a beast, cheaper version of the S3 i guess

I still think they are missing a trick by not supplying recaro's as standard.

....

My VW dealer has already told me I'm gonna be the very first to know when theirs is coming and also the first to test drive it.

I keep telling people here not to hold their breath for a R-version - It really is all just rumours and speculation at the moment - Never trust a journalist!

....200% agreed! But are they even an option on the Mk6 GTI?

I'd guess that they would make them an option...otherwise they are missing 2 tricks....and the second would make them loads of money!

I like those pics quite a lot... I may be in the minority, but I'm not all that keen on the Scirocco at all, I much prefer those pics to anything I've seen of the Scirocco.

....I much prefer the Mk6 GTI (subject to seeing) to the Scirocco too. The 'Rocco looks long and bulbous in the flesh - Great from some angles and horrible from others.

No it isn't - check out the last sentence of the following AE article:
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/228492/golf-gti-turns-up-heat.html

"And if 207bhp isn’t enough for you, VW has confirmed a high-performance Golf R is also on the way."
