Yeah I saw it in the Herald this morning also. Looks quite nice however I prefer the GTI's Honeycomb grill. (The R32 grill is too 'blinging' for my liking)



Very much so ... Wee bit OTT,,,(over the top)
Honey comb would look far nicer...

We folks, hate to upset you all, but the R32 MkV is only being bought in to NZ in 5 door form. Was at my local VW dealer today. Talking to a salesman who was in Auckland last week for a pre-release drive of the new Polo GTI (also 5 door only).

The R32 will be as near as damn-it to $70k including on road costs, and should be on sale here before Christmas. VW are already taking orders. Understand there will be 15 in the first shipment and there is no limit, unlike the MkIV where they supposedly only bought in 32.

I have also put an offer on a house that will allow me to keep my MkV GTI. Not only that, but by the middle of next year a MkV R32 may not be out of bounds. I really like my GTI, but the R32 engine sounds incredible ..... well the MKIV's did anyway, so I assume the MkV will too.
