--- Quote from: T88OMM on May 06, 2010, 11:51:45 am ---I could accept the price if the car was a revelation in the hatchback world, but the problem is, it's not! :sad1:
The whole car is just a mix of components from the VAG / Audi parts bin which have been readily available since 2006, bar the GEN 4 Haldex! So in reality it's nothing new it's just VW trying to pull a fast one with the pricing and brand the car as a revelation so to speak! The amount of money they must be making on each R is obscene, after all there must be very very minimal R & D costs to recuperate as the same car has been rolling round since 2006, albeit with 4 rings on the front :wink:

....You've forgotten to factor in changes in currency values and you assume far too much about profit margins within the VAG production accounting without any real knowledge of it whatsoever. I hasten to add that I don't know their margins either.
MAT ED30:
how dull does it look in this colour

My Mother has a fully loaded MK6 GTD in that colour. It's actually really nice.
It's not right for the R but then you have to understand that subtlety is quite appealing to some people.
Saint Steve:
Its a Posh Ed30 with a 4 wheel drive system, which means moddified, it will eat alot of things on the road.
Besides how much it costs :indifferent:. Its still a positive progression for a performance Golf.
Id buy it as im a fan of Vw Golf GTi's/R's
Bollox to people saying "But you can Buy so much better for that Much"
Then go buy something else. Its selling its full allocation and vw are having no trouble selling it.
Im gonna keep buying my scratch cards and hope i could buy one without financing. :chicken:
