  | Re: The VW Golf R32 is dangerously hot... Ok, here's what really happened. A jealous Toyota fanboy, who was embarrassed because he wasn't getting laid in his Corolla threw his cigarette through the small open window which landed on the interior. The cigarette started burning the materials and boom, you have a fire. Case closed. It's the fault of the Toyota fanboys!    j/k |

| Re: The VW Golf R32 is dangerously hot... A sample size of 1 does not prove anything.  Where are the stats of other R32s spontaneously combusting (at a higher rate than other car models) to prove that it has something to do with the design? Without more examples, speculating that it is a design flaw is plain BS. |
