Didn't want to quote all those pictures :p That's very nice looking, love the 20 spoke rims. I'm surprised it's coming so quickly, the new line VW's just came out. The MKIV golf was out for quite a while before the latest R32 came out. Glad to see VW is on top of that this time around.

Yep. That is a sweet looking car. I'd love to see what it's numbers are... performance and price. For the right price... hmm... RX-8, Mustang, R32.... decisions, decisions...

Are they going to make an R32 HPA version out of this one too?

You know...the wagon with 550 horsepower that reaches 60 in 3.2 seconds.

Nice car no doubt and a great interior, but I just have to say that the orig one looked better, more aggressive imo.

HPA is an aftermarket company that does that, very similar to Acosta. They tune your car to be ridiculously fast...for double the price of your car :p Don't get me wrong, that is one fast car, but just doesn't seem worth it in the end, that is, unless you have a hard-on for a VW :D

makes me happy i didnt buy the apparently rare and limited edition R32 that they are only ever gonna make 5000 of ever back in 2004. F*ck VW. Sorry lol...i'll add something constructive, i dont like the new grills, but its gonna be a fast car, too bad i dont like hatchbacks.

Word is this car most likely won't make it to North America, if by chance it does it won't be anytime before 2006.

Seriously though, Americans suck at bringing good cars here. We just don't like fast hatches, I don't get it

I wouldn't be suprised if Canada still got this car. VW's have a pretty decent following where I'm from.

I thought you guys did. Didn't they make like 5000 for America and 2500 for Canada or something like that? Maybe I'm thinking of a different car.

Nope, you were right. God I love Wikipedia.

They sold 5000 in the U.S. over 13 months, none were sold in Canada.
