Wider stance does look a lot nicer.

But we aint getting either of them here in Canada. ='(

V6 > 2.0T

not really.... i tried the 3.2 in an audi and it made the car feel so nose-heavy. i'm still happy with my 2.0T :thumbsup:

Canada never gets any nice Vdubs....

I want a vw touareg, witha v10 tdi and pneumatic suspension

v10 TDI no longer exists for north america...

This car would be insane with a stage 3 setup... stock it basically replicates the Audi S3...

Hopefully the GoC won't ban this from being imported from the US... Given VWoC track record... they won't bring this to Canada... :confused: (but the farenheit GTI was a good idea... :rolleyes:

that looks pretty sexy, why can't canada get this car?

:( scirocco is such a sexy car...

Is it confirm that the R20 will not be available in Canada?
I was dreaming the other day when my lease on my GTI was up I would get the R20!

^ No...

this looks photoshopped LOL

kinda cool...still...the point of a golf is that it is unique...yet volkswagen makes the mistake of copying the scirocco...sigh

i asked 2 different vw salespeople at different locations/provinces and both said no to either a golf-R or a scirocco. canada amounts to a very tiny portion of vw's global sales, so they basically consider us small fish :cry:

loks like the scorrco

import one from the states.

vw said that they are afraid the scirocco would impede with the sales of the Rabbit and GTI :(...damn you market...i dont understand why anyone would buy an R though...apart fromt he fact it has 4-motion, chip a normal GTI for $800 and it goes faster than an R ^^

can we buy this brand new and import it right away?

ya some people bought one from seattle dealership and imported it via fright...but remember this (correct me if im wrong guys im just echoing words from www.golfmkv.com)

1. the pricing in states is different, after exchange rates you may find yourself spending alot
2. you will have to pay the local tax...so in seattle it would be like 9% i think
3. you will have to pay GST and PST on the car when you import it...so thats another 12%
4. if you choose not to drive it back up here, you'll needa hire a freight to ship the car up here...no idea how much that would cost :)
5. you will have to live with a MPH speedo and good luck selling the car (well i guess not cuz R32 is unique someone would probs buy it)
6 (and probably most important). i dont think the warranty with VW will travel with the car, so if your car needs to be services, you will probs have to pay for it :P

R32 over this...

shouldn't be an issue because this time it's a 4cyl, so you can just swap gauge faces from a cdn mk6 gti with a km/h clock.

true. US warranty is non-transferrable. why i don't know. worst case scenario is that you drive across the border to WA and find a VW dealership there to handle warranty claims. cdn dealerships should be able to handle regular service though.

it's all about the 4motion for me. i'm chipped up the wazoo right now and i'm having traction issues in the dry and the ESP is going bezerk all the time... i'm not looking forward to wet fall weather right now, let alone winter/spring :o

wow, u sure know nothing about buying a car in the US and giving out false information.....:rolleyes: your dad must own a car dealership on kingsway, and this whole importing thing must be putting him out of business.

1. the pricing in states is different, after exchange rates you may find yourself spending alot most of the time the pricing is cheaper in the US and if u are looking for a car not available in Canada, u expect to pay more
2. you will have to pay the local tax...so in seattle it would be like 9% i think non resident in washington or no resident in the state u are buying a car from does not require u to pay their sales tax, u must provide a valid id to prove that.
3. you will have to pay GST and PST on the car when you import it...so thats another 12% in the case of this vw, its will most likely be made in Germany and u will need to pay duty also
4. if you choose not to drive it back up here, you'll needa hire a freight to ship the car up here...no idea how much that would cost :) all american transport cost $1000 from Virginia to Seattle (just an expample and thats like 2500miles away)
5. you will have to live with a MPH speedo and good luck selling the car (well i guess not cuz R32 is unique someone would probs buy it) there are a lot of us import these days and ppl are willing to buy them used for a better price
6 (and probably most important). i dont think the warranty with VW will travel with the car, so if your car needs to be services, you will probs have to pay for it the money most ppl save getting a car in the US, they dont give a shit about that

different ppl have different needs. If they want 4 motion, they want it....

even after chipping a gti......its still a fwd:haha:

thats why i said im not sure about this im just repeating what i heard from golfmkv :(

sort of like the current gen better
