BUT .... I'm placing an order now..... (well on Saturday) want to be guaranteed to have the 1st one from the dealer ..... (and I want that guarantee in writing)

If you order now you might end up with a rendered graphic, not a car.

I dont think they take orders on cars that dont exist...

I reckon the Mk6 GTI looks much nicer than this, I don't like all the little crevises and things like that on this car.

I would take a new scirocco over this anyday.

MONEY PLS

Dealers will actually take orders on any car that may possibly be sold by them in the future. All you need is a clear enough description to eventually match the vehicle and a deposit. The deposit is refundable if the car then eventually do not make it to the market within a set timeframe.

It reserves you a spot in the queue and if you get in early enough, you can be right at the front ....

That is what I am doing .....

Ordering R20T/GTI-R or equivalent, in silver, manual and 5 doors to be delivered as soon as it becomes available or within 18months whichever comes 1st with a refundable deposit if: (as an example)
1. I am unhappy with the price at release
2. The vehicle is confirmed not to be released in Australia
3. Subject to Finance approval.

All you need to be willing to do is to give them $500 to hold untill such time as 1 of the conditions are met or can not be met.

Nice one!!

...thats good to know. I'll probably be looking at mid/late 2010 so might work out quite nicely if UK are getting these late this year/early next year.

Sorry but you cant replace a beautiful sounding quick R32

AFAIK, they can't get the 3.2 to meet the new Euro emissions requirements.

I was all set for one of these too... until I stupidly took my other half down to VW for some parts and had a look at the Tiguan. She has her heart set on one of those now
At least I can save some money I suppose...

Different motor, it's a 60 degree V not a narrow angle and has FSI so it's much easier to meet the Euro standards.
The MkIV and to a lesser extent the MkV R32s will go down as classics.

As long as people stop offering stupidly low prices for them on public forums (even if no one does buy it).

Placed my order this morning. I'll be the 1st in Brisbane to have one .... 18 to 24 months from now.

Std GTI MK6 due in December/January in Australia, R20 due 6 - 12 months later. And the dealer confirmed it will be AWD (4Motion).

The dealer happily took my deposit and conditions.

What were the conditions Sharkie? AWD for one I'm guessing?

2. The vehicle is confirmed not to be released in Australia
3. Subject to Finance approval.

Conditions as above, except for a delivery timeframe as 18months as it may be a little bit longer than that

AND yes, I made AWD a condition. I ordered 5 door, but will settle for 3drs if that is all it will come with.

The R20T (they looked up some brief specs) will have 270HP = 200kw.
