The movie is rather large so it may take a bit to load.

Love the car, but the exhaust sounds like someone gargling Listerine.

That thing is sweet, but I would have a hard time throwing down 32k for it. I would rather buy a used S4.

Has VW set that price yet in the US market? I can't imagine VW setting the price of this R32 anywhere near $32G; where the current VR6 2.8L is only about $26G loaded.

As for the car, I bet it handles WAY better than a Maxima. (No offense intended to my Maxima brethren.)

Peace.

He He Come on guys....Sure our Maximas is terrible on the turning radious but it doesn't "handle" that Bad install a FSTB, REAR strut Bar, and Rear Sway. I think it will meet our street driving needs. The Maxima wasn't known for its handling anyway, and certainly wasn't made to compete with WRX or in this case the VW's R32

Not bad, but it's no lightweight... 3250+lbs... I would never pay near that price for that car, even though it looks pretty good... I'd rather get the Evo 7 when it comes here and smack the ish out of that bish...

Yeah, but the evo is such a damn ugly car...it just looks cheap.

I didn't think they were going to bring that VW to the states anyhow.
