Not-so-secret confession time:
I love the Volkswagen Golf R. In fact,
I always have. And now it seems that
Volkswagen is sweetening the deal on its hottest hatch, with recent creations like the
Golf R 400 concept (a showcar
reportedly headed for production) and now this, a longroof Golf R Wagon, just caught testing on the Nürburgring.
This
Golf takes everything I already adore about the normal R - a 300-horsepower turbo-four and a superb 4Motion all-wheel-drive system - and adds the family-and-stuff-friendly capability of the SportWagen bodystyle. Sure, this more capacious shape will likely add some heft to the R's curb weight, but I can't imagine it being anything short of hilariously good to drive.
Assuming this thing is headed for production, it's not totally likely that Volkswagen will bring the Golf R Wagon to our shores. But I can dream, right? Or, I can always hop a flight to Europe...
