Wasn't there an earlier article that said both of our cars (manual and DSG) would have less power because our gas sucks? I still feel like we should get more power if we don't have the OPF.Hah, notice how the 6MT R is rated for 15 lb-ft less than the DSG model. VW knows their 6MT clutches are weak.
That's all we get. Oddly, it's also the only way to get Pure White. They're doing odd things with colors this year. Next year will be the 25th anniversary of the Mk4 R32, so there will likely be some new colors available for that. Be great if they brought back red.Why does the R only have 3 colors listed or did I miss something?
The R is on hold at port until February. The GTI is out, I've only seen a couple though. I think dealers are trying markups and consumers are giving them the bird. Go ahead and die already, shitty dealer network...I haven't seen any new MK8s here in Southern California. Are people just not buying or buying it and having it shipped out if state. Maybe I'm just not out on the road enough to see them.
Ah I c. The dealer right next to me here has a pomelo yellow Autobahn MT listed 6 days ago for $40,099. Let's see what happens.The R is on hold at port until February.

I hope they offer the Volkswagen Spektrum program again for the R. Perhaps next year. Also, three colors now because all of the trim accent pieces inside and out are blue. Only so many colors work with that. Bit that would also include Silver. So, I am thinking they just want to keep it simple. In the USA you get three colors and two transmissions. I am on the list for a Pure White with DSG.That's all we get. Oddly, it's also the only way to get Pure White. They're doing odd things with colors this year.

You can get all sorts of GTI colors that don’t go with the weird grey and red leather seats. The blue accents on the R are pretty subtle in comparison. I’ve got a Lapiz Blue manual on order, but would gladly change to Reflex Silver if it were available.I hope they offer the Volkswagen Spektrum program again for the R. Perhaps next year.
