On a cost note have a think on this.

In 1989 a MKII Golf G60 limited (charged and AWD) was £25,000 and a MKII 16v was around £13,000.

Inflation adjusted the Limited would be £40,000 and the 16v GTI approx £21,000 today on a VW forecourt.

The new Golf R is set to arrive in the UK in December. Prices and specification will be announced nearer the time.

My dealer actually phoned me this evening (about 7pm!) and told me about this statement.  He said he'd print out all the details he'd got and post them out to me - how good is that?!  I've probably seen them all anyway - but can't fault the guys effort.

Anyway - due to arrive in December?  I wonder how long we'll have to wait for proper prices and options?  I want to see how much the spec I want would cost and whether its really feasible or not.  Judging by the GTI's option list, I'd have about £3k of options - plus I'd retrofit an RNS-510 + bluetooth (another £1k for both hopefully!) which would make it about £32.5k.

Seems steep since I can get an S3 fully loaded for about £31k with recaro's!  Shame the S3 is fugly!

Its starting to look like silly money for what it is, I think I would rather have the S3 with a few less options. I was waiting to see what the R was like and it does not really impress me, maybe when I see it, that might change. I am now looking at paying a little bit extra and getting the Audi TTS, it seems good value next to the Golf R.

Nice car... I test drove one a couple of months ago.  I intended buying an S3, but tried the TTS to have a shot of a S-tronic gearbox.  It handled brilliantly and was lightning quick - especially with the S-tronic.  Unfortunately its totally impractical for my needs... I'd never get my golf clubs or snowboard in it!!

According to Autocar article posted in the one eight turbo website, the R20 will be a AWD...

Yep. They are all presuming its 4wd because its an R model. There is not a single amount of evidence to suggest 4wd yet all the dealers are saying its FWD  :undecided:

Btw, it's 4wd :wink:
