Smart of them, at least they didn't name this the R20T; but I like the MKV a lot more.

And from what I hear from solid sources... Golf R is coming to Canada... And the other rumor is that Scirocco will make an appearance as well...  | |

But that only makes so much difference in slippery conditions... throttle control is the clear winner...
And snow driving is FUN... I loved bombing through the snow last year!
Too bad I won't be experiencing it in my beast this year... | |

i don't have the engine mounts either... i know they really cut down on the wheel hop, but i don't think i can stand all the vibrations.
have you taken your GLI to the track yet? any dyno numbers?

Unfortunately, Volkswagen Canada could only confirm what would not be coming to Canada: the new all-wheel-drive 270 hp Golf R hot hatch and 3.3 L/100 km (85 m.p.g.) subcompact Polo BlueMotion three-door that debuted here.

It's not really a big deal you know, if you really want it just go to the US and buy one and import it... it's soooooo simple and it wouldn't cost any more than buying one here (maybe even cheaper!) especially now with the awesome exchange rate
As for mph guages... big deal, I've been driving US imported cars for 6 years and before that my 68 Mustang never even had km/h on it, you either learn to look at the smaller numbers or you remember what speeds are in MPH... 40=60, 50=80, 60=100. So simple!
The only argument for/against is whether VW honours their warranties and that I am not sure of but I've never been one to care about warranties, any car I ever owned was out of warranty or never needed work... then again this is a VW so...........
