OK I was watching the launch of the VW Golf-R with much interest as it is slated to be the next car in our Garage only needed to get it in the right color and the Launch cars only came in Blue a no go for the main driver as I have a blue car and she isn't into blue as much as I am.. Anyway on to the story at hand. VW did a "Pre Order" thing where you put dont a $500 refundable deposit with Amazom somehow and you pick the dealer to pick your car up at. SOme dealers were offering invoice pricing or other incentives so it was not a MSRP or nothing deal you could haggle some on the price... (the only thing the 500 launch car get to make them special is a bag of trinkets the buyer gets with a watch and key ring and A serialize VIN certificatefor framing. From what I found out none of the cars will be any different than the rest of the 15MY no fancy plaque or numbered sticker just the Vin as proof)
But the thing went LIVE last night Jan/08/2015 at 12:01 EST (New York Time) and sold out in less than 11 hrs (10:45 EST). The preorder link on the VW site switched from a order site to a waiting list site... (Funny thing is I got a Email at 9:10 local time CST and the site closed at 9:45 local time CST for taking orders nice one VW)
I hope Ford was watching how quick these sold and gets off their butt to make the RS and bring it here in non limited numbers as to me this proves a Hot Hatch and AWD at that will sell and sell quick..
Now if the brought the POLO R then maybe we would see a FiST RS awd.... I can dream right LOL
