No more 3door Golf Rs...WTF?
pudding:
I don't think the Leon has ever had 3 doors! My mate had a Cupra R way back in 2001ish and there wasn't a 3 door option even back then.
VW are actually one of the last car makers to ditch 3 doors in all fairness. It's all about profit now and they will only make what sells. It's why GM, Ford and other car makers have removed a number of cars from their catalogue. The market is shifting to SUVs and those stupid crossover things like the Gashqai, Puke and Mini Countryman, ffs :doh:
Screw the minority and choice. The unimaginative sheep always win.
Even bloody Rolls Royce and Lamborghini are making stupid SUVs now. Jesus wept, we're all doomed.
Golf5 GT:
I’m more for the 5drs when it comes to the Golfs but they could always make a small amount of 3drs and label them as “limited editions” and then sell them at a silly price 🤷🏽♂️.
Would you 3dr fans settle for that? Lol
pudding:
Yeah they might well do that.
The MK7 has the same side profile / glass lines in both 3 and 5 door versions, so 5 door barely looks any different. But with the MK5 though, the side profile is completely different between 3 and 5 door, hence why I've never liked 5 door MK5s!
Get more bass from 3 doors.....bigger speaker cabinet :happy2:

The slim margins in car manufacturing (unless your name is Ferrari) mean that VW need to focus on whatever will sell in meaningful quantities.

Yep. Way cheaper to make 1 door size and 1 body shell. It's been heading this way for years with VW/Audi's incestuous product line. Modular construction to produce plain vanilla cars at the lowest cost to them, but to be specced up with numerous chocolate sprinkles by the end consumers by way of tacky exterior and interior options - at, obviously, the biggest profit margins to VW.
Can't knock it as a business model, but it certainly takes the joy out of shopping. Golf, Yeti, Tiguan, A3, etc.....all the same bloody thing. Gone are the days when VW took pride in their creations like the Corrado, G60, Golf Limited, Rallye, Scirocco Pikes peak etc etc. It's all generic, bland, dime a dozen bollocks now.
