Tiguan R would be interesting. T-roc R would be even cooler. I still am amazed that's not coming to the us in standard form... Would be a good crosstrek competitor. I understand no Polo.

"If you look at customer surveys, VW has one of the highest ratings in terms of driving fun, and [some customers respond] "that's why I bought a VW".
some sort of alt-universe thing going on down under. probably their toilets swirl a different direction when flushed too i would imagine. |

The wife emphatically mirrors the surveys. She loves her MK7 GTI. And why wouldn't she? 30 mpg, handles great, feels great, rides great, great seats, great brakes, great engine, great trans, vault silent, fits 4 people and gear on road trips, doesn't burn a drop of oil, phone interface has been oddly perfect. Even did awesome in our sketchy snowstorms this year on stock all seasons. I dunno if there is anything that can check so many boxes for so little money AND be a hoot to romp on in the twisties. The Corolla it replaced had its goods and bads, but a peanuts more expensive GTI it was not. Not even close. Especially for equal reliability over the same stretch of time without giving up much in fuel economy.
She is having a tough time wanting to buy a more expensive car. If VW offers a GTI Sportwagen with 4Motion, I'd retire my LGT wagon in a heartbeat and fill out those surveys the same way. |

Throw that 2.5 5 cylinder turbo in there, it be right up there with the amg glc 43 and probably 10k cheaper.

I'd go for this for sure! I LOVE my R, but looking at a Macan for my next vehicle....down the road. I'd definitely consider this given the specs are comparable.

It does until it costs 55k dollars.
But I would totally rock a Tiguan R |

Seems like a waste with only 300hp gunna be in the same ballpark as an x3 35i and v6 sorento.
340-360hp would really set it apart and undercut bmw and amg at the same time. |

It's a good time to bring the hot version of the Tiguan. Current R-Line is such a disappointment looking all flashy with no performance.

That front bumper has similar white vinyl treatment as the Golf R did... if you look past that, the front bumper looks eerily similar to the Golf R's bumper.
Would be a great trim option, but I foresee price being pretty high. |

Cool. If I ever decide to get a SUV for myself this could be it.

I don't really see the appeal of fast SUVs. This is gonna be like $50k if we get it.
But it looks great. |

The ID.4 is going to make this irrelevant in 3...2...1...

why would it? Not everybody wants limited range and long charge times. The notion people everywhere are clamoring to pay so much for something that is no better is strange. But you do you.

yeah, the id line won't make these things "irrelevant". But VW will increasingly have overlapping vehicle lines as they come out with more ID models.
doubt it'll come here. |
