Last month Volkswagen launched its new R GmbH department<\/a> – a section of the company that will be responsible for sporty exclusive models from Volkswagen in the future. While the German automaker confirmed that Americans may not get any R GmbH models anytime soon<\/a>, news about the Golf \u00a0R earmarked for the stateside<\/a> had us a bit excited… until now.<\/p>\n

According to a report by Wheels <\/em>of The New York Times<\/em>, the Golf R hatchback is still in question for the U.S. market.<\/p>\n

The performance-oriented Golf R is “still up in the air,\u201d said Volkswagen spokesman Steve Keyes. \u201cWe\u2019d love to have it, but it\u2019s a question now of euros versus dollars,” Keyes said.<\/p>\n

Refresher<\/strong>: The 2010 Volkswagen Golf R is powered by a 2.0L TSI direct-injected and turbocharged 4-cylinder making 266-hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a DSG dual-clutch (6-speed manual as standard), the Golf R goes from 0-62 mph in 5.5 seconds with a top speed that is electronically-governed at 155 mph.<\/p>\n
