I\u2019ve always been a fan of the VW Golf, or as the hipster in me still likes to refer to them as Rabbits.\u00a0 The boy racer that I once pretended like I was loved their versatility, tunability, the hatchback experience, and their general performance for a car that was the slightly more upscale alternative to the Honda fandom.\u00a0 The only thing that ever prevented me from ever owning my own was simply the fact that I just couldn\u2019t ever afford to get a Volkswagen, because whenever I\u2019d been in the market for a car, they were always at a price point that I didn\u2019t feel comfortable committing to.<\/span><\/p>\n And then I read this story<\/a> about a super-limited edition Golf going to be released, to where only 333 will be produced, a pithy number as if they thought they were Bugatti or Lamborghini or something, will be a sickly-looking greenish yellow and will cost roughly the equivalent of $80,000 USD, and I roll my eyes and come to the conclusion that I will probably never own a Golf in my life, and think about how the car and its branding have seemingly grown a little too big for its britches.<\/span><\/p>\n Much like the Honda Civic, the VW Golf has long since strayed from its general position in their respective automotive lineups.\u00a0 Originally the economical, entry-level compact options for their makers, both of them have grown up substantially with the generations and have turned into ridiculously expensive budget sport cars where honestly, their name is more valuable than the sum of the parts that they\u2019re composed of.<\/span><\/p>\n But $80k is absurd.\u00a0 Asinine.\u00a0 Completely ridiculous and out of touch.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t a fan of Honda finally bringing the Civic Type-R to America, only to turbo charge it and slap a $45k price tag on it, but at least it\u2019s not an $80,000 Golf.<\/span><\/p>\n $80K is like Supra territory.\u00a0 Numerous BMW and Mercedes options.\u00a0 The price point of importing a R32 Nissan Skyline and taking care of all associated costs and maintenance.\u00a0 Nearly double of what my car cost for 1\/3 of the capacity and utility.\u00a0 Nearly double the cost of the Audi that I would much rather have.\u00a0 Hell, it\u2019s nearly double the cost of the R32 Golf which was already the super version of the Golf, and for what?\u00a0 19 extra horsepower, that most people wouldn\u2019t be able to legally capitalize without breaking the law?<\/span><\/p>\n And all for a Volkswagen Golf.\u00a0 The econobox hatchback that was every person my age\u2019s first car type of car.\u00a0 No fucking thanks, although I will be interested the kinds of schmucks out there who will inevitably hoover up these 333 krauts.\u00a0 I can only imagine the wildly varied types of bullshit they\u2019ll tell themselves and others to justify dropping $80k on a gaudy fluffed out Golf.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve always been a fan of the VW Golf, or as the hipster in me still likes to refer to them as Rabbits.\u00a0 The boy racer that I once pretended like I was loved their versatility, tunability, the hatchback experience, and their general performance for a car that was the slightly more upscale alternative to … Continue reading An $80,000 Volkswagen Golf LOL<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[51,79,83,190,49],"class_list":["post-49404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-cars","tag-cashmoney","tag-observations","tag-white-people","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49404"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49404\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49406,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49404\/revisions\/49406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
