    MB is pushing 380-415hp out of a 2.0T and the best VW can manage is 315hp, I'm a bit disappointed. That being said a torque vectoring rear diff is a welcome addition.
    Wow, I didn't know that. What Mercedes has this magic 4-banger?

    The A45 which I think is coming here and the A45S which I don't believe is coming here.

    Holy shit. I completely have been ignoring Mercedes C-class and below for years because at some point, I noticed wheel covers on a C and just kind of wrote them off after that. LoL! Oops.

    I would hope that a $80k Mercedes has more power than the $50k Golf, lol.

    Yet a base stripper AMG CLA 45 sporting only 302 hp has an MSRP of $52k. That high output version adds a lot of $$$ to the price so kind of apples to oranges at this price point as nobody is going to buy a Golf R that retails for over $60k.

    Conversely, why by an A class when you can get a golf. I'd take the golf.

    Buttons. The A class has more buttons inside.

    It was a trick question. Everyone just buys base model pickup trucks.

    Looks very un VW-like, and very 4x4 stock (which is very VW-like).
    I'm definitely interested though so see these past the stock photos.

    The Spektrum program, should be brought in again. 40 Colours, even energy drink green. (not confirmed though)

    I haven't heard anything about the Spektrum program coming back yet. While reasonably successful in Canada, the program experienced a lot of headaches in the US market. A lot of unhappy potential customers that didn't get their pre-orders filled.

    Yeah similar. I've only read speculation, nothing confirmed.

    I get that the Benz is more expensive but with the Benz you're also paying for the badge and those awesome seats, the Golf R is meant to represent the best value hot hatch. Personally I was hoping to see the MK8R around the 350hp mark so that it was noticeably peppier than the MK7. All the extra features they added to the MK8 will likely make it heavier so that 25hp bump won't really help.

    Also doesn't a 83K X3M make 503hp compared to a 97K Macan Turbo that makes 434hp, similar scenario no?

    It’s significantly quicker than its direct competitors the A35 & M135, in both straight line, and Hoffenheim & Nurburgring.

    It drifts. It’s gotta manual. Real good 1/4. Sounds fucking fun to me. Aaaaand I’ll try to be optimistic about the haptic-touch buttons.

    Ive heard some good things about this MK8R. Bigger turbo, drift mode. Now all we need is to see what MSRP will be! Guessing 46-48k CDN.

    The entry level price for the sport compact segment is getting pretty high I must admit. The FWD CTR is $45k now. Pretty nuts when you consider it wasn't long ago you could get these vehicles in the $30's.
