I have 4wd but its still based on a car designed to ferry the family round and pick up the shopping!

An RS4 isnt a tweeked shopping cart, more a tweeked rep mobile.

Something like a porsche or a ferrari is what you could not say 'just a ferrari', but a golf, no matter how fast or with what engine is a golf!

Yeah I do as well. Having no interior also makes it an ideal tip run car!

You completely ignored what I said and went straight back to the speed debate. Name me a standard golf with 4wd, the plush interior and the looks of a gti. You should be able to as they are just golfs.

Loving those seats - although they're only half leather. 
Add that to my current wish list and that'd be about £33.5k
Kind of obscene money for a Golf - considering I could buy 2 1.4TSI's for that!!!

Autocar say we should have them on the road in January - I wonder how realistic that is?  Apparently we should have had the Roc .:R on the road NOW!

I need a car soon... all this hanging around is killing me!!

£33-4K is ALOT for just a Golf.

FFS, yes! That's a fortune  :shocked:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Half leather/half alcantara recaros will do nicely!

Better start saving now I think. Really is a lot of cash though, especially in the current climate when you consider the customers VW must aim the Golf R at.

I would imagine that in the main, a car like this is pitched at the young professional market (which includes me) and right now there aren't too many of us who feel sufficiently confident to splurge this kind of cash on a car. Most of us are too concerned with the student debts we racked up, made worse by frozen pay rises and negative equity!!

Still want an R though!!

Very true mate, I've been lucky and avoided that so far.

Hopefully by the time the economy shows real signs of recovery, there'll be a few Golf R's knocking about on the used market with some decent savings. Surprised to read on autocar though that VW only plan to sell 500 a year in the UK.
