Golf R Wagon thread

[runningmanz]

Nice work man. I just signed a contract on a blue Wolfsberg R wagon!

So stoked as apparently they are as rare as hen's teeth in that colour. Originally the dealer the lease company put me through said he could only get me a Limestone grey but I checked another dealer and got the last one they had in blue. Due for delivery in January which ties in nicely with the end of our current lease! Now for the looong wait lol!

Still trying to find some video or pictures of the Wolfsberg R wagon but hadly anything out there. Did find these tho. Look pretty sweet!

pics are for launch edition for japanese market.
i would hate it if the aus version had beige inlay and blue pinstripe wheels...looks tacky imo!
there's a thread on vwgolf.net.au that itemises every single part of the car if anyone is interested. page 11

Do you have any pics of the rear end of that car? I wonder if the tail lights are LED's

No they are not LED. The parts list has them as standard lights.

Yeah fair enough I neglected to notice that lol. So the seats are more like this then?



Can't wait till mine comes in! Long wait tho :/

Order my R, blue, not a wagon. Interesting fact, it has been in the country since august but VWA will not release it until after their launch event.... C**ts...

[philkensebben]

Do we know when the launch event is? I don't have a date for my R yet but I was told that it would be once the launch event has happened.

[Dug]

28th October I believe.
That's when I'm told I have to wait for my wagon until.

[limmy]

launch has to be end of september...date unknown, although rumour is 21 sept. as we know, there are cars here already landed and gone through customs. i understand there are another two vessels on route with more Rs. one is coming from the west, first stop perth and enroute to melbourne, the second is coming from the east, first stop brisbane.

it appears if you want a blue one this side of christmas, you've almost got no chance getting one. then again it comes down to how good/motivated your salesperson is to try and secure one for you. if you miss out on blue, the next batch is due in jan/feb.

Upgrade time for me is going to be in around 2 years time when we move into our new house...

Im seriously hoping that VW bring these things out as a standard offering.. Exactly what I want/need...

Would really love it if I could order manual also... but i'll take DSG if need be..

This picture makes me wished I had ordered the roof.

You probably don't want to see this then:


I've also ordered White but with the roof. The ship with mine (Tombarra) dropped my car off in Melbourne on Saturday. C'mon VWA, lets do the launch already.

AAAARGH! That does look nice. My Passat only had the front seat sunroof and I hardly used it. Oh well, at least I kept my Wolfie Wagon under $60K.

Is this the panoramic sunroof that's being fitted to optioned Australian delivered Golf R Wolfsburg Edition wagons for $1850, being the usual price for the standard panoramic sunroof?

It can't be true. That is one massive sunroof. Well worth the extra $1850! Hope the people who ordered one without the sunroof don't see this pic
