Have to say that I appreciate the look of the Rallye but I prefer the sleeper looks of the G60.
The G60 will have less to go wrong, and will weigh less.

Money no object? I'd have the G60 Limited, 16v Supercharged Engine and 4wd in a standard small bumper body. Sweet.

Mind you, having any of those cars would mean having to drive left hook, which I'd be a bit weary of. But it's the price you pay for joining the  G60/Rallye owning elite.

Anyone know why the Corrado G60 is available as a RHD when the Golf wasn't ?

Only 71 Limiteds were made, so only a handful are in the UK.
