"It&amp;#039;s long been thought by VW enthusiasts that the turbo four was superior to the V6 engine option in the Golf platform. It&amp;#039;s lighter, and with added boost it would generate more power. This belief is embodied in the 2010 Volkswagen Golf R, a car destined to go on sale in Germany before the end of the year, but is not yet slated for the U.S.   The R is superior to the V-6 powered R32 it replaces in nearly every way except its number of cylinders. The 2-liter turbocharged engine belts out 270 horsepower, that&amp;#039;s 20 more than the R32 while weighing 335 pounds lighter than the V6. The turbo four sits farther behind the front axle thus pushing the center of gravity rearward in the chassis, helping the notoriously nose heavy car regain some balance.   All-wheel drive is standard of course and is the latest generation of VW&amp;#039;s 4Motion system with features a center differential is predictive rather than reactive. An electro-hydraulic control unit adjusts the torque bias through a control module and in extreme cases the system can go to full lock, and thus is capable of transmitting 100 percent of the torque to the rear axle.   Emphasizing the cars higher performance is a revised suspension that lowers the car about an inch and bigger brakes. The standard wheels are 18-in. while 19-in. wheels are optional. The stability control system also incorporates a new sport mode that raises the allowable limits of slip before intervention. Also, the optional Dynamic Chassis Control adjusts the responsiveness of the electro-mechanical power steering system.   The interior is quite stylish, similar in execution to the VW GTI but taken to the next level with premium materials and even more supportive sport seats. For those who lust after the not-for-U.S. Scirocco, this is the next best thing. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
