OK - passing along some info from Jamie @ VWVortex (Jamie for those that don't know him runs the vortex and works for VW in some capacity. He gets to drive the stuff we don't get in the US years before it's released and is about as reliable as source as you'll get outside Stefan Jacoby for what we will and won't get here).
It will be called the Golf R. AWD. 270 bhp (at least in Euro spec according to Jaime). And we'll get more details next week (auto show coming up). We could see it in 2010. No, VWoA hasn't firmly announced it yet - they're probably arguing over 2 doors, 4 doors, both, manual & DSG or DSG only a la the R32. But, bottom line is we're getting it and soon. :drool:
