Interesting final paragraph:
"ThatÂ’s something US buyers are going to have to wait a while to find out, though. In fact, the R32 isnÂ’t scheduled to be sold in the North America at all. In its place will be the Mk5 R36, powered by a 300bhp version of the B6 PassatÂ’s 3.6-litre VR6 FSI. Not only that, but by the time it arrives on your side of the pond in 2007, the price will have dropped to a far more reasonable $30,000 or thereabouts for the manual, non-DSG model."
30k dollars for a 300bhp 4 wheel drive mk5. What will that be here? 27k? :angry:
