Dare I ask, are there any 3-doors amongst them?

LOL was me indeed, but I can appreciate people need to keep their sources secret so I'll just settle for confirmation of when the cars are in Melbourne. Then I'll start harassing my dealer for a "go"

I still have to find time to fire off an e-mail to those VWA people. If they don't bring a 3dr here, I'm not buying an R and won't be settling for a GTI. VWA will loose my business on 2 cars as the missus wants a new Polo GTI.

If the review cars are about to hit the road then initial pre ordered dealer stock shouldn't be too far behind!~..

Still got a firm date of 20th May for the GTI but this is looking good for the swap if pricing is available within the next 4-6 weeks.

Are you interested in 5dr or 3dr cars elisiX? I can't remember and your sig don't say.

Ideally 5DR DSG Blue/Black R w/ Leather, Xenon, MDI, Roof (and if I can swing it / justify it, Nav)

Cools. I'm waiting to see if I here anything from our friend Karl in relation to the 3 door R's. I've been told by a friendly dealer not to hold my breath for 3 door R's in Australia.

Having said that - the R32 probably had more 3 door sales than any other VW model they've had - so if Anke Koeckler came to Australia to expand the sales, I'm not sure that taking away all the R32 3 door customers and giving them to Audi etc is a good first move! lol
