VW Golf R32...Opinions?

[XylathaneGTR]

For those who dont know, the Golf R32 has a V6 3.2 L NA Phaeton engine, making 251 AWD Horses, with est 236 Ftlbs...
With a 6 speed, and 3200 lbs...and 18" and Tons of nice features, a 0-100kmh est 6.4sec, and 153 MPH Limited Top Speed,I think it will destroy everything in its class.
I've heard its also comming to USA sometime mid-late 03...Possibly Canada. Anyone know a list price?
What are your oppinions on it?
i think its a for Volkswagen

It won't hit the US until January 2004, so we won't get it until months after that, IF we get it.

That sounds like a good package.

I'm not crazy about the headlights, and I bet the price will be large too.
Some S4 bumper going on

It will not be coming to Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THe model coming to the US is a 4 door version. This is also the new motor for the TT 3.2

No shit

I told you one of them will post another one of these threads......I gave them 2 weeks, he did it in two days

Xylathane was smart to change the topic of the forum to comments on the car, instead of the tradtional, should I buy this?


Dam it, I can't flame him as bad now! bwhahha

[max_boost]

Anyway, the R32 Golf from VW carries one impressive package....

But honestly, the car will be over priced, perhaps much more expensive than the 337 Special Edition that was out earlier?

You might as well buy the Turbo SRT Neon.....hell everyone should get one of these! It smoked a WRX with 3 passengers! WTF is up with that?!?! That means CRXguy with his new mods can only keep up to one! haha

[hjr]

its about 45 or so. I think thats the estimate. About 50g's going off the UK price and converting it. Mad expensive. but cool nun the less.

[Ferio_vti]

Its pretty nice.
But its not a Golf Just R32.

[hjr]

those new neons put all our cars too shame pretty much. its sooo sad. i was a little ticked when i found out dodge had the best "sport compact car" for the money. man, what is this world comming too.

[Sean7]

I heard over at vortex that the R32 was coming to the US just like you see it there. The price is supposed to be around $30000US, so close to 50 grand up here.

One hell of a nice car though

[Smartiepants]

I heard that it was would be retailing at close to 55k

But its an amazing car.

[tegdream]

amazing car no doubt, but $55k? hardly worth it, when we think of golfs we think <$30k.....its still a golf no mater which way you look at it...and im sure most would no doubt pick an S2K or 350Z over this car..... i think manufacturers are going a little too all out....especially with the new 7-series and S-class....who knows whats next....a 700hp luxury sedan? its fun to think about now but its also idiotic...IMO

This car is going to be expensive, but your getting what you pay for here. The AWD system is very good, the engine has LOADS of potentail (cant say that for the S2000), and it is very luxurious. Not to mention that its running a 6 speed. As for what car to pick over it, well the 350Z maybe but for sure not the S2000. (IMO)

Now i dont think i'll ever own one of these, as by the time i can afford one, id probably rather have an Audi RS4.

[StrokeD z]

i would think it would do better times than 6.4 not that i am braging or anything but over all it is sweet
