Indeed. I only posted it as I was surprised VW would "cheapen" the GTI name with just a bodykit and "stuff". Mind you, I suppose they did it with the Golf Driver many years ago....

Am I the only one who thinks its looks sweet?

Is this like in between the reg Golf and the GTI/GTD's?

It has a nicer rear diffuser than the GTD and I think I prefer the front bumper as well!

Sort of. I think it's a trim level with regular engines. I also think it looks good, especially the rear bumper and skirts.

Agreed on the rear diffuser

It'll be the same as all the other "R-Line" spec cars in the VW range, bigger wheels than standard and a bodykit, the spec won't be great but you'll be able to spec it up and it'll be available with a few engines plus a few other trim/upholstery bits and bobs.


Have a look at the Tiguan, Passat, Scirocco and Polo for some examples.

Exactly and it just cheapens the R brand which is a big shame.

I think if you saw that R line debadged you could almost mistake it for a GTD if you weren't clued up on cars

Yeah.  Is it basically a GTI/D with a 150 engine?  Don't like that.  GTI/D looks should be unique.
