I did read that their current sales are not as high as they predicted/hoped and they were initially losing $2000 per Golf. They're doing better now but appareently thats only because of the Eos and Jetta models. I guess these are included as part of the Golf range. So I would say VW Australia would be having a think about whether to sell the Mark Vi here or not. I think it's due out mid 09, with new 2.0l engine. I've also read the R32 will be discontinued as it doesn't meet European emissions levels and instead there will be a 'GTI-R' which will be AWD and be using same 2l engine as the GTI, but tuned similarly to the S3.
