VW Golf R coming to the US
 

I don't know if this fires you up, but I'm excited...

Officially Official: Volkswagen Golf R headed to U.S. for 2012 — Autoblog

Count me in - goodbye GTI, hello Golf R.

only available with a manual gearbox huh...

This is a very good thing. The R32 is still a hell of a car but this is going to be awesome!

I love my 04 R32, but I'm having thoughts of committing adultery.

Its a hell of nice car and it looks great! the Dsg tranny is great on this one.

The reason the Golf R is supposed to be so much better is because it has the 2.0T up front instead of the VR6... So it'll be quicker than an R32 (less weight), and handle like a GTI (i.e. better than an R32). Plus it'll keep the R32's good looks. DO IT!

I'm guessing w/nav it'll be $35K...

Screw supercars. That thing is better looking than a 458 and it has a manual gearbox. The car is absolutely gorgeous, too.

It's a 60K car here, but you guys will probably be able to lease it for 150 bucks a month . . . *shakes fist

The car looks great, happen to drive on in Monte-Carlo really liked it.

Realistically, it'll probably cost me about $600/mo (my GTI is $400/mo). More practical than a TT-S, too.

Wow, really? I thought you guise had better lease rates than that.

So what color are you getting? :)
