VW says no to 3.6L Golf R36
Volkswagen’s Golf performance range has been hugely successful for the company, but rumors that they’re planning to expand it to include a top-of-the-line R36 model with a 3.6L V6 engine are unfounded. That’s the claim made by a VW spokesman, who said the Golf R32 is perfectly placed within the market. The Passat R36 model that has already been announced comes with a FSI engine churning out 300hp and this is the same engine that was tipped to power the new hot-hatch. The current R32 Golf model makes do with “only” 250hp but the more powerful engine would have pushed its performance very close to the five-second mark. Read Article

It'd probably also be priced about the same as the 335i...I know it's a different class but the 335i would still be way better.

Just like the Interior of the Golf is better than that of the 1-Series.

And the Golf Drove & Handled better than the 1-Series.

I hope so. They obviously already have the engine which makes them motivated o use it somewhere. A Passat with that engine would be wonderful.
