The R type will only have 2 years on sale before the Mk7 comes along.  That's why it was rushed.

Should be a good car, has anyone seen a road test yet?

The Sunday Times has a road test of the Scirocco R in today's paper.
The author concludes that the normal scirocco is a much better car than the harsh and loud R version.

This might be the case with the Golf R.

Not exactly. He just said the standard Scirocco was so 'nuanced and complete' he didn't think he'd have enjoyed himself any less in the non-R version.
