AskaVWsalesguy would. Check out his latest YouTube video for some wicked Golf R footage and tongue-in-cheek commentary. Enthusiast definitely want the Golf R shipped over the pond but as always VW will be late to the STI/Evo/Ford party.

Still no word on a North American launch…
The new Golf R is here. Designed by Volkswagen Individual. All-wheel driven. As the flagship of the model series it is equipped with standard Bi-Xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights and LED rear lights. Shifted manually or by optional DSG. At 199 kW / 270 PS it is the most powerful version of the model series ever built. (continue reading…)
Yes, happened and it looks like a bunch of us have missed this. The Montreal International Auto Show kicked off on the 15th and Volkswagen has brought the new Golf R to show it off. They say it was to gauge public reaction and solicit feedback. Do they not search the internet? North America is due for their next “R” version and why show it off in secrecy. Detroit had a great showing from VW and maybe it would be too much but the Golf R is already on sale in Germany. We are not getting the Scirocco. So why not just announce it, make it limited if anything and move forward. By that time, the Golf R might still be relevant in a sea of STI’s, EVO’s and say Hyundai Genesis Coupe at $25k, 3.8L and 306hp.
Let here your thoughts! Do you want one? Would you consider one if offered in North America? Continue reading ‘North American premiere of the Volkswagen Golf R happened at the Montreal International Auto Show’
I guess you could say this is one step closer for the enthusiast in the U.S. First Germany and now the U.K. In the meantime we shall sit with envy. Expect to see these two hit showroom floors in February 2010.
Volkswagen has today confirmed pricing and specification for the most powerful and fastest accelerating derivatives of the Scirocco and Golf ever produced. Developed by Volkswagen’s special projects wing, Volkswagen Individual, prices for Scirocco R start at £26,945 on-the-road and £28,930 for the Golf R.

MTM drops some new love into the 2009 VW Golf VI GTI. With the brains altered, the MTM Golf GTI jumps from 210hp to 270hp and hits 400nm of torque. They even went as far as adding a second air-filter.
To stop this new beast, MTM bolted on a Brembo kit with 380mm rotors and 8-piston calipers. To keep it stuck on the ground, a set of black 19″ MTM Bimoto wheels wrapped in Continental XL Sportcont tires were installed to improve its handling and stability.

…in Germany that is. Will the Golf R hit the States?
Volkswagen are proving that fuel consumption can be reduced even in the sporty high-end class with the 199 kW / 270 PS strong Golf R, which is now available to order. Thanks to a turbocharged high-tech TSI engine, it uses only 8.5 litres – 2.2 litres or 21 percent less than its predecessor.
