We will not get the new GTI or R until at least 2021 or even 2022 and being that the cars will have already been around in Europe for a year or two by then, you aren't technically getting a first year generation. Rs had been out for 2 years before we got them. I have a 2015—first 500— and had no problems.
My guess is because they're not as popular here as in Europe, plus there are different federal regulations here they have to comply with, and they make changes to the cars to also make them more affordable (cheapen) in the USWhy is VW so slow to bring the new models to the US?

Nor do I want a new model the first week it is available as thats always trouble.
Lol, ALWAYS? where is the data to back that up? ?
45%
THE PERCENTAGE OF NEW OR REDESIGNED VEHICLES IN OUR 2019 SURVEY WITH BELOW-AVERAGE PREDICTED RELIABILITY; 33 PERCENT HAD ABOVE-AVERAGE PREDICTIONS, AND 22 PERCENT WERE AVERAGE.

The rationale for waiting a yr or 2 on a new model had more validity years ago when manufacturers made virtually no changes/tweaks within a model year run. Now days, for example, my 2015 S3 was built near the end of the model year and the turbo had already been through 3 or 4 revisions and I believe the same was true for the haldex unit.
