That'd sound reasonable.

My guess is a starting price of $43,900.

Re: MKVI Golf R20 Anyone?

I dunno if I should hold my breath for a 5-door version lol

If it does come out, I may have to talk to Derek about trading in my GTI (and eating the cost difference since I'm leasing it) and getting that R20....

Re: MKVI Golf R20 Anyone?

In North America they should just bring over the Scirocco with this engine and market that as their sporty car, differentiating it from the Golf and GTI.

From what I have read the 'rocco seriously outperforms the GTI anyway (MkV)

Lighter, wider track...better looking*

* - subjective

That would definitely solve the problem of having two many models occupying the same segment. It would have to be aggressively priced (and awd!) otherwise enthusiasts would buy the cheaper (and uglier?) gti instead and chip it if it was still fwd with that engine.

Re: MKVI Golf R20 Anyone?

not too excited about this, cause this engine was in the s3 3 years ago... if it had at least 300hp then ok.

Agreed. Over 6 years of R cars and only a 26hp boost... lame.

So bart... based on the above... your 300-hp R-Golf is due out in 2018 I believe.
