Dunno. GTI and a Golf R are pretty much the same car, R has more power and AWD. I would've thought for sure the R would be more.

All you guys here, continue your excellent driving!

Maybe the V-dubs just aren't very safe when they DO get into accidents. Or they may be VERY expensive to repair.
That is CRAZY expensive though.

This makes sense to me. My guess is the R is still being sold at a premium, where-as there's a lot of older GTIs owned by wanna-be boy racers and the like.

I'd say (older model) GTI owners are often some of the douchiest on the road.

goddamn telligent community software is the fcuking WORST SOFTWARE in the world. I cannot for the life of me understand why my company keeps spending gobs of money on this crap when they should just throw it away and start fresh with Wordpress. Dammit.

OH. and, why cant web designers update goddamn alt tags?

Just what I need, a vent thread. If I could vent everything on my mind about these goddam replacement referee's I would probably get in trouble.
