VOLKSWAGEN will launch 21 new models over the next few years as it aims to push UK sales to 220,000 units by 2010.

Fleet News has been given a sneak preview of some of the models coming next year. They include:

Touareg facelift – spring: New front-end styling to match cars like the Eos.

Polo BlueMotion – July: Diesel offering up to 72.4mpg. c.£12,000 price tag.

Golf estate – August: Targeted at job-need drivers and priced from £12,400.

Passat R36 – August: 300bhp, 155mph four-wheel drive super-Passat.

Golf RSI – September: The fastest ever Golf with a price tag of around £29,000. bowdown.gif

In 2008, it will launch the Tiguan SUV, a production version of the Iroc concept called Scirocco, and the Concept Coupe, a Mercedes-Benz CLS-style model positioned between the Passat and Phaeton.

Scirroco is due Nov 07 according to stuff I read last week.

The Golf RSi was a 4 cyl yank project 12 months ago, I wonder.......... Will it be a :-

R32 turbo engine

5 cyl audi RS3 rumoured mill

Size adjusted R36 engine from the Passat

2.o FSi with twin supercharge and turbo, a big version of the 1.4

The R36 USA car puts out 280 bhp, so 300 bhp for UK seems odd for a car already being sold in the states.

Could you post a linky from your source?? 169144-ok.gif

In Germany, and that's the target date. They need to swap the steering wheel and a couple of other things over. I reckon we can expect it in the UK around April 2008.

I don't like the RS name badge it always reminds me of a scetch by the two Ronnies many years ago with two farmers i think it was with very strong accents talking to each other.

RS would sound like aRSe when they said it.

I guess Worsal Gummage would say it the same way too when i think of it.

So i can only laff at how they would pronoince Focus RS.

Or RSi

Thing is though, its called a Golf RSi. It has the golf name in it. The R32 was never called a Golf R32. This was a marketing move by VW to try and disattach the R from 'lesser' golf models to make it seem more special.

You get my confusion? tongue.gif

Sorry, Wopps, you're talking kack. The R32 was always marketed as the Golf R32.

Still, does it say golf anywhere on the back of the R32?
