Do not get so excited by this headline. VW is developing this Golf R20 unit with eyes on the American market, but this is not the involve R Line. Instead it's all about appearance wrap autos like Tiguan R Line.
This R Line Tiguan has a sportier design featuring 18" or 19" wheels, lowered wheelbase, matte chrome highlights, small spoiler right above the window on rear. Steve Keyes - VW of America spokesman reported to the Inside Lines, 'The R Line Tiguan is under consideration but no decision at this time'.
If this Tiguan variant makes it up here, that may open the door also for the other R Line vehicles from the in-house customizers of the brand, Volkswagen Individual. Promising, but the estimated 36K Dollars starting cost for a R Line in U.S. would be probably a bit high for a auto that's available only with a 2.0-liter 200 hp turbocharged 4 cylinder engine.
