I posted some R32 vs 130i videos in the sound and Vision section. I suggest that everyone sees them before start talking.

Listen, my friend, i didn't mention BMW nowhere in this thread. I actually like all R32 cars as i'll probably adore the R36. Only the praises come from my mouth when we talk about R cars. Here, i'm a bit dissapointed with V R32's time vs. IV R32's time, nothing else.

And then you jump in and mention BMW?

I'm sure you know something about Football and that's why you just got your 1st yellow card...

You know what happens after the 2nd one, right?

Ok i 'm sorry.

I will have to write it down 32 times for punishment:

Hope you are satisfied now.

Haha! Mate, that doesn't bother ME, there are some others that might make a VW vs. BMW fight out of your above post in Passat R36 thread wich would be very annoying, right?

Oh, and btw, you like that Ctrl + V stuff, huh?

BMW

Yannis I had to

This is just the car I'd want if I were in the lower sedan market. One thing though, it has to have more than 280hp, the U.S. V6 model already has 280hp. It should have a turbo version of the 3.6L V6 with 400hp.

Arghhh... there are taxes across Europe on HP, displacement, cylinder numbers, CO2 emissions and so on.

Doesn't the European Passat V6 have something like 252hp or something from the old 3.2L V6? The R36 would be completely and utterly pointless if the hp increase is going to be 30 or so hp.

The Passat R32 has got 250hp (everywhere, probably less in the US due to stronger exhaust laws).
The Passat R36 will have 280hp. The 30hp are not a lot, but they are increasing the displacement and power together with the a face lift I would think, so its not like anybody claims the 30hp more to be a great deal.

@turbo version: wasnt there a rumour that a R32 turbo (more likely twin turbo) for the TT is planned?

Original rumors on Passat R36 had 300hp as original output.
I think VW should aim for 300hp
