2008 R32 Review Revisited

In a recent post entitled The 2008 Volkswagen R32 Review, yours truly ranted and raved not so much at the 2008 Volkswagen R32, but the review of said vehicle and author of said review in Autoweek.

My frustration with Volkswagen, as well as my incredulousness at people like Patrick Paternie of Autoweek Magazine who fail to “get” the 2004 R32, has only grown with the passing days and weeks.

Still, when it was brought to my attention that Flow Volkswagen, Mazda and Audi of Charlottesville would be getting their hands on a 2008 R32, I was excited. Not so much because I could finally see the new R32, but because I could finally validate my concerns, or adjust them accordingly.

I have been upbraided for judging the 2008 R32 before I ever saw it up close, so all my critics will be very happy to know that tomorrow I am going to get my first up close and personal look at the new VW R32. If I am pleased with the car, I will issue an apology and sing it’s praises far and wide. If I am not pleased with the car, I will destroy it. I will rip it to shreds. I will eviscerate it, right here on my blog. Or, I may just say nothing at all. It all depends on how I feel after wrapping my hands around the steering wheel tomorrow.

God Speed.

    This site celebrates my passion for driving, traveling and dining. This site also celebrates my enjoyment of a certain Volkswagen R32, Blue! Blue was simply the most fun I have ever had behind the wheel of a car. We traveled so far in so short a period of time, and although I only got to have him for a little over 2 years, it's a period in my life I will never forget!
