It picks up where the old R32 left off. But instead of a 250-hp VR6, as in the R32, the Golf R packs an upgraded version of the popular 2.0-liter, turbocharged direct-injection four-cylinder that powers the GTI and a number of other VW Group cars. It is tuned to 270 hp and makes 258 lb-ft of torque from 2500 to 5000 rpm in the Golf R. Top speed is a governed 155 mph. The Golf R will be all-wheel-drive, like both R32 models. The turbo four is lighter than the VR6—hopefully meaning this one will feel less nose-heavy—and the extra 20 hp likely will go a long way toward helping this Golf R justify its higher price point. Don’t expect U.S.-bound cars to be available with the manual; the last R32 left its stick behind in Europe and was automatic-only, as is also the case with the TTS. The R will likely fall in the $30,000 to $35,000 range.

Love those seats.

Needs plaid seat inserts! Totally want one even without them, or a manual. On the plus side, they usually have those flappy paddle gearboxes, so you can shift yourself if you want.

I'll take a Scirocco TDi in silver please. Other than that I wouldn't want a VW.
