pitty VW did not lend Autocar a GTI for this weeks top 50 test
VWFS need to get the R in a place where they don't have several thousand ex-leasers and PCP cars in negative equity on their hands and thus bolster up the used prices for all of their niche sporty models.
Not that any money or favours will have changed hands anywhere along the line…
Not that I have any cynicism issues.
have to admit if i go R400 i'm tempted to get an Ed40 as a daily
I still can't see where VW will go with the ED40.
The PP is so close to the R on price as it is, by the time an engine upgrade, bodykit and different wheels and interior embellishments are factored in, do we get a car with 240bhp and VAQ at close to the PP price, or do we get a GTI with Cupra engine and VAQ and R400 lightweight panels for R money? hmmmm...
