New VW R32 on the Nurburgring, SportAuto test...
Found this on a swedish car forum...
"...Being 12 seconds slower than its predecessor is disappointing due to the heavy weight. Also the acceleration figures show absolutely no progress compared to the Golf IV R32, no improvement at the Hockenheim short track as well.
The Golf V R32 more is a grand tourer than a sports car. It offers perfect handling, always enough power as well as a lot of fun to the every day driver especially due to the permanent 4WD which on the other hand also contributes to the high weight.
0-200-0 km/h in 35.5 secs. again this is about 2.3 slower than its predecessor.
1.1g max. lateral accleration, this is not better than the 200 bhp Golf GTI.
Due to the 4WD, the Golf V R32 offers pretty good handling in the 36m slalon, the 11m evasion test and in the wet. Only the brakes are a bit weak and tend to fade...."

This is horrible news... The fact that it's 12 seconds slower, than the old R32, around Nurburgring, is just pathetic. What was VW thinking when they made this car? 
I'll keep my eyes on the new GTi, thank you.
