Very Nice as usual from VW, 250bhp nice as well

Bit mis-leading though when they say "permanent 4Motion four wheel drive"

It's Haldex which is not permanent, and as it comes with the DSG gearbox it
must be haldex.

4x4 system as well so it will actually get the power down unlike most of its
other competitors.

I'm guessing it will retail for around £20k, what do you guys think? And
what will be in its class?

Add another £5k and you'll be close.....

I'd probably still have the Alfa 147GTA just because it's so silly in
comparison.

25-30k is more like it, it's basiclly an Audi A3/TT

Because of the limited number they do hold their value nicely though

There is a chip available for the Haldex system to change the way it moves power
about to shift it to the rear more aggressively rather than waiting fro the
front wheels to be close to spinning if you plant your foot hard it moves power
to the rear wheels quicker but it's £500 you shouldn't have to spend.

Sounds good to me. And the interior on the new R32 is fucking great.
