that black mark............what ever it is in autoexpress looks good on those lamborghini wheels! even it is or isnt an R36 it looks good.

Before they released the Mark 5 I heard rumours that the R32 in mark 5 shape would actually be the R36, then i heard that was for the american market then not at all!.................i believe it when i see it!!

If I remember right the 3.6 is available in the US in the Passat. The Passat B5 and the Mk5 Golf share the same platform, so It's not unlikely, I guess it just depends on if they think it wil sell in sufficent numbers.

Bought that Auto Express last night. I like the front of the new Mk 6, but not sure about the side view its a bit bland from the side. Rear looks good though.

The bit on the R36 had quite a lot of detail in it. Yes the 3.6 is a current engine in the Passat so its definitely around. It also said the suspension and drive train would be developed to suit that power hike!
But as the doubting Thomas's have said we will have to wait and see.

I've had the privelidge to drive a 3.6 passat... all I can say is that if that engine goes into the Golf, it will be the end all, be all of every golf evAr made. 280hp in the passat was insanely torquey and and had awesome speed to it. The new 3.6 is a lighter engine as the block is aluminum and felt just awesome to drive despite the size and bulk of the Passat. I have to expect it will be made, in the US the R32 came at the very end of the production of Mk4's; I'm going to assume Vw will release the R36 sometime around the time the MkV ceases to exist also. It is actually rumored to be arriving in the States around 2008.

Is the 3.6 available in the Uk yet?
