    I think they all look ugly!!

    So do they still offer the 1.8T? Does the 2.0T replace the VR6? I can't believe they stopped making that engine. :(

    If you want good, reliable transportation that represents a good value then just buy a new accord or camry and be done with it.

    No. The new 200hp, 2.0 FSI turbo four replaces the 1.8 turbo in VW/Audi's lineup. The 2.0 was originally introduced in the Audi A3. VW plans to play with the turbocharger and other hardware to tweak future special-edition GTIs to reach at least 240 horses.

    Only in the GTI. The R32 (not available in US) will get the existing 3.2 VR6 (not the new 3.6 VR6) and it's rumored to have twin turbos to get it past 300hp.

    US market will always get them later than Europe but I would expect them to get here at some point.
