hmmm, there is always something about these golf's that attracts me to them!!..Even though the car doesn't look as aggressive as i'd like, the performance numbers look real good. Thats almost EvoX territory!! And I am glad they kept the DSG, it is one awesome transmission...
BTW, has anyone else noticed how manufactures are moving towards turbo vehicles? The new Bmw X6-M and X5-M are both going to be turbo charged. The next generation M3 will also be turbo charged. Apparently manufactures are doing this to meet strict regulations for the environmentalist? I think this is a real good mood...
TNT any word on its release? I want to go for a test drive asap!!

N/A was the thing of the past....there are more tuning capabilities and better numbers with turbo cars with simple mods..even a reflash would give you more hp compared to a N/A tune!! Turbo cars have a better $ to POWER ratio compared to N/A!!

Golf is still the leader in Pocket Rockets; even though the car is growing bigger in size. Its just so balanced &efficient when it comes to performance. Love this car if only we got competent dealers to service them.. How much r they pricing it?

I feel you Tamu, always had a soft side for these Golfs myself.
True, almost half of the BMW range is now turbo (7 series included!) and the next M5 is gonna get the mad engine from the X6 M. Not too sure about the M3 though, maybe you mean the M5?
No idea on release yet.
