I like it. Agree with Onehots2k, the EVO/STI appeal to me in terms of "what's on the spec sheet, how is it to drive" but their tupperware interior and wing-on-a-grocery-getter looks turn me off.

I'd consider buying it.
Thanks Kremlin. I think my accel numbers might be a bit too optimistic. I dont know where I got that this car would have the same engine as the Audi TT-S. I just assumed since they were both turbocharged 4cyl putting out 260ish hp, I guess. Most articles are stating its straight out of the S3. I'll have to dig later.

If it's as heavy as the new R32 then it fails.

It needs to be lighter.

I like it a lot. I liked the R32 as well, though, so that's no surprise.

That would be the standard transmission and the DSG being optional.
But MkV R32 were brought to US with DSG only, so who knows...

Yeah, I like the MkVI R20. I'll have to check it out once it hit the US market.
