The looks are growing on me, but I'm disappointed to read a MT isn't expected to be offered.

I wouldn't buy another manual from VW anyway. I bought my Mk7 in manual and it's really my only regret with the car. The DSG is really the thing that ties the R together and makes it a giant killer.

I hope they put an E-Diff in the R for this generation like the one in the performance pack GTI.

You mean the VAQ unit...

.& no they can't do it as the VAQ unit is on the passenger side driveshaft (for USA) & not in the gearbox...& that side of the driveshaft is where the transfer box to couple the prop shaft to the rear wheels connects...

Maybe a front mechanical LSD?
