I've been reliably informed by someone at VW that the R36 will not exist, and that the US will recieve an R32 at some point.

Could be wrong I guess, but I've also seen precisely zero evidence pointing to an R36...

See I heard the other way around, one of the sales managers at Lindsay VW over here, said that R32, was being replaced by R36 in North American VW sales. I saw the dealership brochures, in this glass case thing

Hmn... that's interesting. I guess with evidence pointing one way or another the only way to be certain is to see if they release it...

TBH, prior to the R32 being released in Europe, I had thought that it would be an R36 as well; I read in an interview after the release that the man responsible for the R32 felt that the 3.6 V6 was not a "suitable engine" for the car. Could be that they've decided to do it as a one-off for the US, since no one in the EU's heard about it.

Theres all this hype, but you know I've never understood why you'd pay the extra 10-15K when if your put maybe another grand into an MkV could smoke a stock R32, and save yourself some pocket cash....too much hype, but I'm not seeing it

Good point. I think a lot of it has to do with the AWD and the R32 being a rare/limited VW.

The 4Motion is nice, but I'd take my GTI any day. I test drove an R32 and it wasn't nearly as fun as the GTI.
Plus, as you mention, put a little extra into the GTI and you'll be able to outrun R32s with no trouble... now I've just got to find someone's who's bought one and prove it to 'em :biggrin:
