No mention of DSG in the Auto Express article either.
Spending that much, it's gonna need to be fully loaded with toys as standard.
Also, need to reserve judgement on the looks - hope its nowhere near as dull as the FR.
I quite like the sound of your current car
Yeah its sounds nice doesn't it. Always grates me that you have to wait for the one with all the toys and horses to come out!!
I like the look of that!
I particularly like this "The Cupra range will be front-wheel drive only, and use six-speed manual or six-speed dual-clutch transmissions." I love the DSG on my current car and really am glad to hear its going to be on the new Cupra! I also like the that there will be a proper LSD on it too! If I can get a Labrador in the back, I think it will be my next car
There's nothing to like about the looks,Its a FR SC, With Golf R wheels basically the wheels are fitted to test the car with 19" wheels, They cant test out a car fitted with Cupra bumpers or else the whole world would see it. There was another car spotted a few weeks ago with MK2 LCR wheels fitted and 345mm brakes.
The Cupra will have different wheels and will look different.
I also think that what they mean by LSD is that it will have the XDS system again as per MK2 LCR.
I am pretty sure it will not be the XDS system as what I have read indicates it will get a proper LSD rom the GTI offering. Could be wrong but that is the impression I got.
"but the new car could borrow the proper mechanical limited slip-differential hardware that VW is offering in the new 227bhp Golf GTI Performance pack."
