Are Golf GTI so Special in the US? In EU that is the most sold "sports" car.

There are people that are absolutely fanatical about them here in the U.S. I've never understood it. For the longest time it's just been a front wheel drive car that is bested every time by the wrx and other similar cars. Now that there's an awd version here, the tables have turned. Never been much attracted to the design though, seems to me that Audi has always been able to build something on the same chassi that doesn't seem like a chopped sedan/hatch. I wish the going was just a little longer....but then it'd be a Jetta I guess. I kind of judge the gti against the wrx wagon (owned one), wrx hatch, A3 hatch, Ms3 and any other similar cars.
But again, all that said, the new awd 300hp version seems to be pretty special here. Just wish we could get the s3 , rs3 and s4 avants here. I'd have one if we did. |
We have the S3 here in the states. Are you waiting for a hatchback version?
RS3 would be a beast car but for that money I would be in an M3/M4.
