Just read a review on the VW Golf R, 2.0 petrol turbo, which in NZ has replaced the R32. 200kw and 350nm at 2500rpm, 0-100 in 5.4 secs. Impressive figures, journos reckon it walks all over the R32. Although it is a few hundred kilos lighter than a Falcon I can't see why the similar EB 2.0t wouldn't work. At the worst it would better the 3.0 SIDI.
