Interesting article on new Golf R. Apparantly VW wanted to put the 5 cylinder from the Audi RS into the Golf, but Audi said No!

Too bad............That would have been the ultimate Golf R. I would have traded up, in a heartbeat!

Makes sense Audi wants to keep the 5 cylinder for themselves, as the Golf would have been cheaper and faster.

Maybe one day :mad:https://www.motor1.com/news/404973/vw-golf-5-cylinder-denied/amp/

Well, guess that validates my purchase of my Mk7.5 R. If the Mk8 had come with the 5 cylinder and a 6MT I'd be pretty bummed.
