The 'R' Branding Is About To Jump The Shark
Volkswagen To Ramp Up More R Models Hoping To Gain An AMG Like Following
Unlike Mercedes-AMG, Volkswagen’s R performance division isn’t much of a sub-brand.
While the VW Golf R remains the industry’s quintessential hot
hatch, there’s no shortage of rivals ready and willing to usurp its
position as a segment leader. Also, one model does not a sub-brand
make.
Down the road from VW’s Wolfsburg, Germany, headquarters, the executives in Stuttgart can’t AMG-ify Mercedes-Benz products fast enough. SUVs, “coupe” variants of SUVs, sedans, and legit coupes are all going under the knife, emerging with taut suspension, improved driving dynamics, and an all-important shot of horsepower — traditionally in “strong” and “extra strong” doses. Not only does it improve an automaker’s image, it also helps sell high-profit utility vehicles.
Volkswagen requires some of Mercedes-AMG’s medicine. Now, according to a recent report, it may have the cure it’s looking for.

Well Said
Life isn’t fair.
Get the fuck over it.
Complaining has zero positive impact on your life.
The reality of life is – no matter how special and unique you think your problems are, there are millions of other people who are going through the exact same shit as you, and millions more who are going through worse.
The sooner you can recognize this truth, the sooner you can reclaim control of your life.
