The Volkswagen Golf R

Click here for more information on the Golf R

People who love the Volkswagen Golf really love it. It's not the most popular car -- it doesn't rate in the top 10 of most lists in Canada -- but there are enough people around to buy it. Or are there? Volkswagen just released a pricing sheet for the 2013 Volkswagen Golf R and the numbers on the page are small. There will be 500 cars available in the country next year and some of those have already been pre-sold.

If dealerships don’t accept their cars, the cars are held in reserve for other dealers with stronger demand.
Remember we said that there were 500 cars planned? There's more: the cars only come in a five-door hatchback and with a manual transmission. You get only one trim level with no options and five body colours: rising blue metallic, candy white, deep black pearl, tomato red and carbon steel grey metallic.
The suggested MSRP is  $40,000 CAD and the dealers are not being allowed to put holds on the cars.
