So it was a bit odd of VW to show off a euro-spec Golf R at the North American International Auto Show. I mean showing off a 2-door when they said we're getting the 4-door only??
Also noticed the car has LED taillights, electronic parking break, and instead of center cup holders it has the covered storage bin. I'd heard the NA market was getting a traditional parking brake on the GTI, anyone know how that carries over to the Golf R?
Any other little regional differences people may have noticed between the NAIAS car and the press release info?
I'm personally happy with what I know of the car, a 4-door would be the only one I'd buy anyhow, and the transmission choice is great. My only complaint is that we don't have the option of the cloth sport seats, I hate leather seats, but I think I'll be able to make a compromise for this car. Also, sunroofs, meh, don't really care either way, but seeing as how i barely use them i'd prefer like $1,000 less and an extra inch or two of headroom.
