Just ordered my 2012 RB Golf R!
Ok I decided to go ahead and order the Golf R. My good friend at our local dealer called me yesterday after leaving a teleconference with VW America. So he told me that VW plans to initially send 3 Golf R's to dealers around the country. For that reason, he told me that I needed to act fast if I wanted one. I as this was a big decision to make I had call him back.
One of the main things that I was fighting with is the fact that APR stage 3 for the TSI is better that stage 3 for the FSI. by 30+ tourqes or so. Still I felt that AWD Would be something I could use to apply Power to the road in a greater variety of scenarios than with my stage 1 2010 GTI.
I called him back and decided to order the below setup:
Base Price: $32,500
Options: 9 speaker dyn-audio, sunroof, KESSY, RNS-315(fml, hopefully I can switch this with a 510) I asked him to let me know if any additional option became available.(hopefully dynamic suspension or optical parking system)
He told me that he would put in the order and call me back with a build date, final price , etc. As he was instructed to do, he told me to expect delivery circa march 2012 which is my b-day.
I'm guessing that other dealers received the same instructions; So if you're intrested in the golf R, I suggest you call up your local dealers.
Financially I know getting the R after having a GTI for 2 years doesn't make much since but I plan on keeping the Golf R for a very long time.

I have been emailing a VW dealer here in CT for a month now they just emailed me back today and they are getting in a steel gray 5 door R in Feb. I was thinking of trading in my 09 GLI for the R. But I'm still waiting for a reply on final pricing. Only problem is that I noticed VWs don't really hold their value very well and I am probably going to take a huge hit on the GLI if traded in. The dealer said that they don't go over MSRP on the Rs but I kind of find that hard to believe. If its true I guess there will be no negotiations on price.
