2007 Volkswagen Golf R32 Preview

In this market, where high-performance sport compacts are typically targeted at younger buyers but where price points often dictate an older and wealthier crowd, horsepower is the priority. But where the 2007 Volkswagen Golf R32 falls short in power it makes up with a more luxurious interior and sophisticated good looks. But do buyers in this segment care about the nicer cabin finish or are they all about go-fast power? We feel the new VW Golf R32 will find its niche among older enthusiast buyers looking for ultimate all-weather performance combined with comfort and convenience. Photos courtesy of Volkswagen AG

About Ron Perry
Before joining the Autobytel family in June of 2005, Ron Perry spent twenty years as a freelance photographer in the automotive community, shooting cars for automakers and magazines, including Road & Track. Before striking out on his own with camera in hand, Ron worked at a daily newspaper as a staff photographer shooting news stories – at least until an editor with a passion for cars fueled his automotive interests. Today, Ron focuses on high-performance sports cars of the past and the designs of the future. Not surprisingly, then, Ron owns a 1990 Porsche 928S4, but someday hopes to add a Ferrari Testarossa, a Lotus Esprit, and Volvo P1800 to his stable. Having to give up his 2000 Jaguar XJR in favor of a 2004 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab was, “a necessity of the craft,” he says.
