Just got a Call from VW Oz was told first shipments will now be 3rd quarter 2010. Oh well more time to research mods.

from my experience thats VW speak for deliveries will be 4th quarter..notoriously late getting their cars to Perth.

Agreed Dave.

I was lucky that mine was in stock!

Other than that it would have been 4-6month wait

That's disappointing, i was hoping it was only a couple of months away.:(

Golf R is gonna be mint IMO... GTi without the traction issues is a win...

Scirocco is only available in FWD as far as I'm aware, so happy for Europe to keep them over there!

Agreed likewise. However like i said dont mind too much as it gives me more time to research what I will put on it, plus hopefully will have some better ABT bits by then.

First Golf R spotted sitting at Freo wharf - stolen from al.

Sweet, last i heard we wouldn't see one until around June!!

I've just been reading about them in the latest Motor mag, can't wait to take one for a spin.

Was thinking of upgrading my 08 R32 to the new R but selling it & buying an R36 (sedan) instead. Need something a bit bigger.
