    Boo on the 4 door. I have an 04 r and I still think it is the best one yet. It also has actual racing seats unlike the 08

    Agree on the Boo @ the 4-Door. My MkV was a 2-door

    As far as the MkIV R32, it was cool except for being a MkIV... :ihih: Just pullin' yer chain. I know there was a bunch of MkV vs. MkIV animosity which I never understood. I liked the MkIV Jetta I had. (Yes, I owned a "chick" car :blush2:)

    The Golf R (possibly called the R20?) is an exciting prospect.

    Is this the VW concept car at the 2007 SEMA show as a GTI? If I remember correctly it was touted then as 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds :eek:

    could be interesting, if priced below $30k. Above, it gets into stiff competition

    The 07 sema car was the w12 I believe.

    Yes the year I had came with a variable exhaust override.

    Dont worry I'm a mk3 guy anyway. But I do have a soft spot for the mkiv jetta.

    This car coming out would be the r20 for the 2.0 liter motor
