Well lets wait and see, I would still only go for the GTI or R though no question.

Be interesting if they did release it, performance will likely be on a par with the GTI.

I don't believe VW would do that.  Have a diesel golf quicker than the GTI no  :shocked:

Depends on how they priced it I guess.  If an RD had GTI or even GTI-beating performance, but came at a huge premium, it may not compete.  It certainly wouldn't bother me if they launched it.  If I wanted an R or whatever, I'd have waited!

Yeh it was mentioned before in the mk7 forum and I'm not certain due to the GTI market...

There won't be a diesel R that's quicker than a GTI - anyone thinking there will needs the soot cleaning out from between their ears!  :laugh:
