Quite like it, still prefer the Audi RS4s, hopefully won't be long until the 3.6Litre engine is transplanted into a Golf.

I like that - a lot

always had a soft spot for passats

not so sure about the dash material - form the pics it resembles the old transam finish (i think it was that US car)

Neither was I untill I saw it in the Veyron and R32 - It looks better in the flesh  :wink:

I like Passat's as it is anyway so that R36 version looks even better  :cool:

thing is though if they are indeed making this car does that mean they wont do an R36 golf. Coz lets face it why would anyone buy a car with the same engine but faster as its lighter for less money.  :undecided:

Some more R36 info over on Pistonheads - sounds like it could be a relative bargain:
