GOLF R - no factory orders a.t.m.....

Hmm. Interesting. Does this also apply to the Roc R?

No more orders of ROCs from factory for arrival this year.
This was the factory order for SEPT12 arrival - realistically you probably want to hold off now anyway for a 2013 compliance unless the car is already in the county or on water

Damn. Lucky mines in the country!!

Just found out my Golf R will likely be built in Germany 1st to 2nd Quarter of 2013!!! Deposit placed Jan 2012!!! So annoyed...thinking of changing order to some available floor stock at the local VW dealer...

I would.. the car is worth it.. the wait isn't

Glad I changed my order I love my R

Glad I changed mine too Silverfoxx, you may recall I switched from GTD to GTI after some discussion here a few months back: whilst waiting for my GTI 2 weeks ago I thought I should just test drive an R on a quiet day off, big mistake The good news is that I've snaffled a privately owned 6 month old Rising Blue R Dsg with plenty of fruit for a great price, can't wait to drive it!

Best decision you will ever make.. let the affair begin...

Bummer. Sorry to hear. I dont think i could wait that long. Mine was a factory order and took 4 months - and even that length of time seemed to take forever.

I would compromise on colour / an option or two etc and try to find something already here and get it now.

i think I must agree- took one look at the RB sitting in the car park and the heart fluttered, then when I started her up and I heard the throaty exhaust burble

[SilvrFoxX]

Just wait till you tune it...
