and that car promptly went on sale in Europe and just about everywhere else as the Golf 4 motion Highline (ie top trim level Golf). We eventually got the 6 speed and the 24V VR6 engine (making 200 instead of 204 hp) but no AWD.

The first time I read about something resembling the R32 was in an issue of Car (oct 01, happen to have the issue in front of me...) it was then called the Golf RSI because it shared engine displacement, and AWD with the Beetle RSI...

Shortly there after the Golf RSI was shown at essen show, it was renamed the Golf R32 went on sale in europe late in 2002, we are currently awaiting it over here in 03.
