i could have told you that we wouldnt have got it. they said all along that the bumpers wouldnt pass. never get anything good?, go to a dub dealer and look at the new phaeton W12 thats a good car for only $128,000

I test-drove a UK version R32 in HK. Which is one of the five available in HK. That thing will make you piss in your pants. :drool:

Sadly, like Rogue said, due to bumper regulations in Canada it is not going to be offered for sale. But there is one R32 in Canada already - but it's owned by HPA Motorsports in Langley, British Columbia. They developed a twin-turbo set-up for it. 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and a quarter mile of 11.4 seconds @ 121 mph.

Check it out (http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1016160)

The MK5 R32 may be available in Canada however when it's launched in a few years. So far it's been said that it will develop in the neighborhood of 300bhp, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

How much where they expected to retail for (in Canadian)?

They're supposedly going to run $30,000 U.S. so I would reckon mid-forties for Canada.

ahahah, if that was an r32, there would be two problems:

cracked bumper, and slower time. :rofl:

Defintely sad that it's not coming. It would have impressed a lot of non-vw enthusiasts thats for sure.

I love the STi but if this came I would have been torn.

The 5th generation Golf looks real nice. They have pictures and info on www.volkswagen.de but it is rather difficult to navigate around in German
