Buckets of paint?
I think it had to do with how many buckets of paint they had laying around the factory.
Remember this is the end of the MkV. They've been selling the R32 everywhere else for a couple of years. Except for the drivetrain and the chassis, the rest of the US R32 was what they had left for the US. Nav, seats, tail lenses, etc.
I don't care, I bought one. Its still an awesome car, and the US price is like 25% less than what everyone else in the world was charged. Plus, I like white better than black for everyday driving. Not as hot on a global warming day.
