Sad lyfe, I wouldve loved a turbo 5 cylinder Golf R in manual. God dammit Audi, why you gotta be selfish, RS3 is too expensive and doesnt come in manual .
Damn it. That 5cyl is amazing, and sounds incredible. VW is still saying the R is going to have some 'surprising' peformance features (no hybrid system) so im still excited to see what they do.
I'm not sure it would take sales away from Audi since they don't offer a manual transmission. RS3 is too expensive and auto only so you lost some people there. Why not get those people into a VW with the same powerplant.
At first I was like, oh $89999.00 , I'll take 20 please. Then I see you need to provide your own MK8 Golf R and I was like, wtf!!!!
No but seriously, at that price I would have expected the car to be included. Wtf are they thinking? Who in their right mind would pay that much for ANY golf??? This HAD to be an April fools joke from USP, right??
