Driven: 2015 Volkswagen Golf R
Conventional wisdom often dictates that in order to boost the performance capabilities of a road car, an inevitable trade-off must be made in terms of comfort, drivability, amenities, and so on. After our seat time in the all-new GTI last year, we left San Francisco thoroughly convinced that VW had reclaimed the title as the manufacturer with the hot hatch to beat. Because of that great mixture of fun, usability and pragmatism, we approached our stint with the new Golf R with some slight trepidation, wondering if the car’s bolstered enthusiast credentials would upset the balance of such a well-sorted vehicle. Fortunately, our concerns were unfounded – the Golf R retains all of the GTI’s best attributes and cranks up the sporting prowess considerably with virtually no drawbacks – provided you don’t spend too much time looking at your bank statement after you leave the dealership.
Los Angeles 2014: VW Golf R Variant
When faced with the choice between developing either a coupe or a wagon version of the Cadillac ATS sedan, GM’s luxury-car executive chief engineer Dave Leone recently was quoted as saying “Wagons are only popular in three places—Europe, Australia, and in journalists’ driveways.” Dave may be (totally) right, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop singing the praises of the fast longroof segment. So with that in mind, it should come as little surprise that we’re particularly smitten with VW’s reveal of the Golf R Variant today at the LA Auto Show.

Volkswagen Reveals Ducati Powered XL Sport in Paris
VW appears to be taking a page out of the playbook of sports racers like the Radical SR3 and the open wheeled Formula 1000 series at this year’s Paris Auto Show with the debut of the XL Sport. Taking the architecture of the low drag, light weight XL1, the XL Sport ditches the XL1’s diesel-electric hybrid powertrain in favor of a 1198cc, 197 horsepower twin cylinder mill taken from the Ducati 1199 Superleggera sport bike and places it in the middle of the chassis, creating a sports car that revs to 11,000 rpm with a top speed of 168 miles per hour.
