all the news have been pretty unclear on the next R. some say it will be an R36 with a 280 hp engine. some news reported that it will be a twin-turbo engine making over 300+ hp.
and i don't think vw intended on competing with the evo or sti. they just happen to be in the same price range and AWD. i think they just wanted to make a super Golf as the Golf had just passed it's 20th anniversary in NA. the R32 isn't as fast as the evo or sti but it's definitely more luxurious. of course, if you're into speed, you can modify it and blow evo's and sti's away. remember, the R is a 3.2 6-cylinder. there's more potential with that engine. as the saying goes, there's no replacement for displacement.
