The dealer was telling me a delivery date of late August to early September. If I see the car before late september... I'll be happy. I had a strong internal arguement over buying early, or waiting until I come back from deployment to Iraq. I was also waffleing over a R32 or a 25th anniversery edition (that hasn't been announced yet). I figure one in the garage is worth two somewhere else!! I was able to drive a 2004 R32 at the dealer, and it was a fantastic car. If the same accelration is avalible with the DSG and the improved body and suspension of the MK V chassis, this car will be a handful. Also, the top gear videos were a great selling point for the wife element. This is a polarizeing car, peopel will either love it or hate it... and not too many people hug the fence.
