They might - maybe with an ADM, unless you find a dealer who is popular in the forums. CA dealers are notorious for this, especially when no one has it in stock.

I'm willing to bet they delayed because of the currency fluctuations. Since the pricing was announced, the dollar dropped a good bit against the euro. The gold f r is built in Germany. Good business decision would be to satisfy demand elsewhere rather than lose money selling in the US.

I'm working in London at the moment and there are Golf Rs all over, so it is building my hope that they'll soon arrive when I am back in the US.
Last night I even saw a Golf R used as an unmarked police car, tearing down Oxford Street with sirens and lights flashing (blue lights hidden behind grille and top inside of windscreen). That was pretty cool actually.

This would not make much sense - they could just hold on to the majority of the USD until the dollar appreciated and then make a transfer. It would not be reason enough to halt sales especially since they have assets sitting on US soil already.

VW sells vehicles across the globe and they are not going to delay MY launches based on the currency fluctuation.
A decision which risks brand value, and prevents the sale of a few thousand vehicles over currency fluctuation? I doubt that logic.

My dealer has cars allocated Port status. Should be here next week. Fwiw, my customer's car was built on 2/2, but another one we have coming was built the last week of August.

Thanks for the update. How do you know when they will be delivered? Interesting that you have one of the earliest and latest build dates in your two car shipment.

Uh.. no. If there are 100 possibilities on what the holdup was, this is #101.

That was just what our dealer rep said. He has been wrong before, so I'm not exactly holding my breath.
I thought it was interesting too that we got 2 cars with such far apart build dates. The orders were only placed 1 day apart.

Has anyone found a California dealer that's taking orders? Spoke to mine on Monday, no news. Getting antsy waiting for the phone to ring.
