Re: VW Golf R - An Update from C&D

Re: VW Golf R - An Update from C&D

Car wont be $50! I'd say $45K max if that!

I was told expect almost $50G from salesman Jack B from SCFC. Initial deposit of $500. When order placed $5,000

I'm back on the fence, and considering a B6/7 S4 Avant again.

Golf R.
Highly doubt it. Has it even premiered in the U.S yet?
(although it was shown as a tease at Montreal?

Will still be a Euro Spec version if it is floating around the show circuit, so not too much to get crazy about.

50k for that car is way to $$$$ IMO... if in fact it is 50K

Over 43G, is too much.

Autoblog reports that when it comes it will be detuned. The Golf R will only be ~250hp in north america, and no DSG option here.

250hp isn't even fast anymore. :/

A 6-speed peaks my interest on the new R. I could probably deal with the fact that it'll have 4 doors. As for the 250hp... a Stage-1 APR enhancement would fix that pretty quick.

Hmmmm.... tempted....

Re: VW Golf R - An Update from C&D

I suspect the 250 HP is just a marketing number to keep it a step behind the much more expensive TT-S. Look at the GTI and it's 200 HP and the S4 and it's supposed 333 HP. A number of dynos of those 'stock' show them putting that down to the wheels.

Fifty grand is an insane price, unless the dealer is adding a little on the top for themselves. The only way I would dish out that kind of scratch for one is if it came with free maintenance, detailing and handjobs for the warranty period.

250hp is def not enough, nor is 300 anymore, lots of cheap cars with lots of power, mustang gt, srt8's, etc although those are garbage inside

I don't quite understand how many are so fixated on HP - It seems to be the only yard stick that some have in comparing cars. Sad really.
