if only more...

if volkswagen can squeeze 280 to 300 hp from its 2-litre engine, that will really be a wake-up call for the japanese......

right now both the evo x and the sti make 300 hp..... and the latest golf gti makes 211 bhp..... between 211 and 300, there is still a significant gap...... 

although the interim golf v50 makes close to 250 hp, the premium is perhaps too much for customers to come queueing for it....

moreover, the golf is still FWD....... and at the very limits of traction, AWD/4WD is still very much a strength.......

but i do understand the DSG is a potent weapon....... and coupled with auto-blip throttle and spanking new adaptive electronic damping, never never under-estimate the golf ......
