With the 2.0 he was referring to the GTI. Not to a 2.0 engine in the R32!

That's so obviously a photoshop cause there isn't any MK5 Golf that comes out of the factory without the rubstrips on the doors and with a rear bumper out of 1 piece. I also don't think that a R36 would come with a cleaned version of the regular Golf front bumper.

From "Automobile Magazine":
"Like the old VW Golf R32, this new version has 4Motion all-wheel drive. The 3.2-liter V-6 in the R32 makes 247 hp and is mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a DSG dual-clutch manu-matic. VW claims a top speed of 155 mph, and a 0-to-62-mph time of 6.5 seconds for the manual and 6.2 seconds for the DSG-equipped car. The car looks the part, with eighteen-inch wheels and tires and a subtle body kit, while the interior gets aggressive sport seats and aluminum-faced pedals. If this model makes it here, it will arrive in 2007 as an '08 model. It will likely be badged R36--thanks to the new 3.6-liter V-6 from the Passat--and have between 280 and 300 hp. Since VW sold 5000 of the previous generation R32s with little or no marketing effort, the company is keen to bring the updated version to the U.S. in 2007 as an '08 model."

So if that's correct the R32 or R36 will come to NA in July of 2007. That's still at least 15 months to wait if you really would want one.
