Is anybody thinking about the same thing? The new VW R32 Golf is going to be a little pocket rocket with AWD which is perfect for me in Tahoe. I am just afraid I will miss the turbos of my S4.

Maybe I might be able to convince the wife to trade in her A4 and then I can keep the S4. In any case, I want a R32!!!!

6.6 sec 0-62?? a little disappointing after all the hype. what are 0-60 numbers for GTI VR6?

Why downgrade to a VW?

It's more fun and mods are cheaper

I guess, I've just never been a VW fan.

I love having the same engine in my GTI that I had in my heavy A4 with 30 extra HP. Do I miss quattrro? Sure. Do I absolutely need it? No. The R32 is a nice car, but it is a bit pricey compared to what you can get in a new A4 or a used S4. I'll stick with my GTI for now.

6.8" per R&T.....

i think in reality i will end up keeping the S4 and probably trading in the A4 + ca$h for a new R32. the main reason being the fun factor and that my wife thinks the R32 is "cute" and likes the VW free-spirited attitude. she has always felt the Audi was a little too "snobby" for her.

For the same price you can get the Sti.. Id have to drive em first to figure out which one Id really want..

STi will cost a lot more than the R32, from what I've heard
