220KW would be impressive, but still not sure it would complete with AMG45. Hopefully VW does not think to price it in the same area. To me it should be cheaper than an S3. 4 exhausts seems a bit cheesy to me. OK for a V8, but four pipes on a 2l four pot seems a tad ricey.

Ruins it.

Less is more.

Ordinarily I would agree, but as the styling of the R has always been very subtle, and assuming the tailpipes are not some stupid shape, think it could carry this off.

They look good on the new S3, so I don't see why not?

agree it sounds like its going to be the business.  ive decided to order an R, much as I like the new mk 7 GTI its not a step up enough from my fully loaded mk 6 GTI.
