Golf MKV (MK5) will be at dealers soon (end of Feb.) / may be chipped from factory

[jwocky]

This car's just now arriving in US dealerships and from what I've read will be at Canadian dealership in one month time at the end of February :thumbsup: I can't wait to test drive this little rocket. :thumbsup: Wait until they bring the R32/R36 over to North America! :eek:

I'm reading that the engine is detuned from the factory and VW might actually offer a chip upgrade to 230hp. - http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51

The new GTI has a base price of $29375 plus freight and pdi.

My guess is that Canada will get the same cars as the US. If that's true then the R32 isn't coming to North America and there's word that the R36 will come in 2007 sometime. 280hp Golf! :eek:

And i love my two tier display, as did motortrend, as it was winning car of the year.

:poosie:

I actually like the new Gti and the A3 a lot, but their reliability rep scares me! Also the fact that you can't add options individually is kind of dumb.

[infected]

Never been a V-dub fan but I like the look of the R32 over the other ones :thumbsup:

Yup, just a few chrome bits really makes a difference. I'm sure there'll be chrome bits like that available in the aftermarket for the GTI too.
