Passat & Beetle R-Line

[FSI 220]

I don't know whether to be annoyed or not... I think it dilutes the R brand....

Interesting that the DCC cars are not lowered... maybe it is a model spread thing... but it would be funny if a V6 "R" didnt get lowered but a diesel R or 1.6 R did (unless DCC cars are lower, but in the ADR's there is only one rideheight for OZ)...

I would rather that the sportpack be kept with R details maybe the R badge, but refered to as Sportpaket or somesuch and leave the R legacy alone . At least the highest Power output + Top trim level + enhancements... like the CC Rline was ... leaving the R line just under the R vehicles but dferring to them...

I sure heck they don't allow the RLine trim kit on the petrol and diesel 1.4's and 1.6s... that would be annoying .... just like the bad old days when S - pack was a boggo taxi with the smallest engine, red go-fast piping on the seats, and a boot spoiler... at least they didnt put a GT sticker on it and call it GT line

anyway all IMHO
