I resemble that remark. What's wrong with being a Dad? Points with the cool kids for driving an R.....

Aren't they all port status though, since they are (and have been) sitting there?
You tell them what you want, they find it (built already) in port and pluck it from there...it gets shipped to your dealer

So is it still the case that the cars don't come with license plate frames and the dealers are drilling bumpers? I thought I recalled folks here talking about alternative plate holders or something. I ask because I just got word that my dealer's been allocated 2 cars for delivery sometime soon (trying to get details).

Any idea on retail prices? I want to trade my 16 Limestone Grey in, but these 2018 GTI prices are nearly what I paid for my R!
What about colors?
Trim levels?

This information has been out for months and discussed in several threads I believe...

Ask them to NOT drill the front bumper.
One trim level - fully equipped. NAV, DCC, auto cruise, all the safety gear, digital dash, etc..

The '18's are showing up on cars.com listings, complete with VINs. Release really is imminent. Amazing.
My advice for those of you who have been waiting - don't rush your purchase! After the initial demand is met, and there won't be a ton of it - there will almost certainly be more cars available than there are buyers. Once that happens, great deals should be possible. Give it a few weeks if you possibly can. Shop around, be willing to travel a bit for the right deal. Patience is a virtue!

I see you're in Philly - mind if I ask which dealer (feel free to PM). I'm picking one up first week in April from another NJ dealer. Didn't get warm fuzzies the last couple years from my two closest dealers.
Trying to decide who to use for service....
