Golf R and Scirocco R advert

[gizzywizzy]

Weird ad but I'm liking the Golf R, the Scirocco doesn't grow on me imho it just get uglier the more I see it.

Could you honestly spend £28k (which is what the Press are saying this R will be) on a Golf, no matter how good it's supposed to be?

I certainly couldn't. You're well into far more prestigious marques territory at that point.

Silly money and I think they (VW) are taking the p*ss to be honest.

Agreed!!!

A tad camp to say the least!

Maybe thats the market segment VW is going for    

[andykram]

Maybe. But it'll get to the point where they suddenly find people will stop buying the cars. That "prestige" saloon they made springs to mind - the Phaeton. Yes, good car but are you seriously going to buy that over a Jag, Beemer, Merc etc. etc. etc?

Er, no.

Yup, easily.

The S3?

What else has the subtlety, build, performance and precticality? Apart from the S3?
