It's 100% confirmed...... VW GOLF R Coming to US!!

[krische]

I'm gonna guess starting at $34k as the 2-door model. 4-door probably $34,500 or $35,000

I really want it, but that $10k more than my GTI.

That is great news! I will still be more than satisfied with the gti, but damn will I be jealous when I see one of those drive up next to me!

 

[Norsk]

SIGH, FML!!! The price of the GOLF R is def out of my RANGE!

damnnnnnnnnnnn


oh well whatever... no biggie.

new club

"i love my GTI, even though it's not as fast as the R20 Club"

i'm more of a style person over a racer anyway.

 

[Saabstory]

Sorry man, but the R wins on style too... :thumbsup:

 

[krische]

I just really want the AWD. I hate how easily the front tires lose traction.

stock for stock yeah...

but i already started working on my gti haha

 

[marcopolo]

I'm delighted that it will be making its way here. However, I have no real desire to own one.

 

[my1stvdub]

OK guess i better brush up on driving stick now

 

[Randum]

DEFINITELY jumping all over this! Now, lets hope I can somehow manage a nice trade in for my 2010...

 

[DJEuphoria]

i'm actually really REALLY happy it only comes in 6-Speed (not that i'll be owning one any time soon) but still, thats the ONLY way to drive a sports car IMO.

Seems I'm going to be driving my Civic and saving some money after my GTI lease is up!!

:happyanim: I was thinking the same thing. I probably wouldn't be interested until summer of 2012 though (assuming this starts going on sale 2011). I wonder how much a trade in on a 2010 GTI would be then.
