Current generation is 142hp I think. I can't really see the need for more. I took a '12 Jetta for a test ride up through southern Vermont in some rolling hills at about 50 mph it wanted me to put it in 6th gear. I figured there was no way it would pull those hills at that speed in that gear but it sure did, no problems at all. My Jetta is in the shop for a timing belt and shifter bushings, I had a hard time finding 5th gear yesterday, it'll be a fun car once I can get all the gears reliably. Not bad for $1500...

And the next generation is supposed to be 184hp. A Golf GTD might be a fun way to spend $27k. Still cheaper than my 167hp 190E was in 1986 dollars.
