I think VW UK already import a Passat R line which is a dressed up base model so don't be overly surprised if they do bring in the Golf version. Would probably make more sense in the UK to badge it as a Golf Driver to carry on the heritage but I think that's unlikely.
It looks quite smart and would be popular with youngsters who can't afford the insurance on GT, GTI & GTD models.
