I just got the Feb R&T and on page 41(ampersand) they mention that VW has
just reintroduced the VR6 on the Golf.  It's not the same as ours though;
it's got a new 24v cylinder head and variable valve timing-204bhp/198ft/lb.
 They apparently have no plans to bring it to the US.    Another article
had the Audi R8 which will competing in this years LeMans.
