Re: 3.2 liter VR6 information... (Giancarlo)

One of the reasons there are so many questions is that the 3.2L is still in the development phases. The current one in the NB RSi is one of the initial variants so it's low on hp.
The 3.2L has been shown in several hp configurations - 231hp in the MicroBus, 225hp and 250hp in SEAT's and like everyone has said - 240hp in the Porsche.
Look for the 3.2L to be in the 230-240hp range when it hit's the US. Originally it was planned for the new B6 Passat - but with the changing of the guard - who know what it will be in first.
VW will be moving to an all aluminum VR6 engine in the future - but no one knows when that will happen. I'd expect it for the MKV platforms.
