MKVII is due late 2011. MKVI is just a facelift with cost cutting tweaks.

Someone who wanted to put a deposit down. Dealer told them it was 100% not 4WD. tbh if the estimated figures are similar to that of the Rocco R then why would the setup be dissimilar?

I was in 2 minds whether to put a deposit down too - as if it was 4wd I may have taken it over the Roc R.  If its 2wd, then I'll stick with the deposit I put down on the Roc R over 3 months ago!  Hopefully I'll be able to order it soon  :evil:

i just dont get why if vauxhall can add a supercharger to their 2.8v6 (see insignia VXR thingymijigg) why cant VW do the same??

The Insignia has a mohassive engine bay, which is why a wide angle V6 will fit.  The Golfs engine bay is much smaller, hence VR6 - which wont meet new emissions regs, or a 4 or 5 pot inline engine. :nerd:

+1!!!

Baffles me. Theres even talk that the new Astra VXR will have 4WD, same system as on the Insignia VXR.

And that is . . . . ?  It is only a Haldex system - with all its limitations. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't want one with VW's ancient V6.  The turbocharged 4 pot is a great engine, one of the best around.
I would want one with the haldex system.  No point buying if it's FWD.
Mk7 Frankfurt 2011 had better be good, I think Hondas new civic R might be a corker.

New CTR is still a few years off. They should have made the engine bay bigger and whacked a 500bhp turbo V6 in, that would be a proper R  :evil:

Im not surprised theres no 4wd, ive been saying for ages there is no chance  :cry:
