****US Golf R Spotted Thread****

[Wlfsbrg2.0T]

I still have not seen one on the road. I've seen 3 at my local dealer, but none in public. That will change before the weekend though, because MINE WILL BE HERE!!!

[Geist296]

I know there are a bunch around Chicago area, but on the South and Southwest side around the burbs I have yet to see one. I see a few R32's around but not many. I know my dealer has sold one other one at this point maybe even a white one by now, but still none have I seen....

When: Sunday May 20 at around 4PM -ish
Where: Intersection of 29 (Lee Hwy) and Shirley Gate Rd (Fairfax, VA)
You: RB Golf R
Me: CW Golf R

You were turning onto Shirley Gate Rd as I was waiting for the light to change. Looked like you had darker wheels (anthracite? black?). I waved, but there was some traffic to my left, you might not have seen me. First R sighting in the wild, where the R was moving

[.:Raunchy]

I've never seen another R. Anybody see one in SC? Charleston area?

[ignitionlive]

I have not seen any (except mine ) in Orange, Riverside or San Bernadino counties in SoCal.

Driving home from work and saw a RB 4 door... had to stop and snap a picture of mine with yours.



Although I guess I'm not the only one with an R in the neighborhood!

First one I've spotted in the wild Black 4-door in Plymouth, MI down the street from my home! We went down to check it out-you were tutoring someone...

My daughter spotted it-you got her PAID

[carman63]

Saw a RB 2DR at Cars and Coffee in Great Falls this morning. Parked next to my CW 4DR.

[JDilla]

Just spotted 1 black and 1 RB R at Leesburg Outlets.

Okay, this is not really an R sighting, but actually an R owner sighting. I was in Newport, RI today walking back to my car, and your dad was hanging around my car. His name is Juan and he said your name is Javier and you are from Canton, MA and your R is black. He said you guys have owned all three generations of R's.

[VAG-Voyeur]

Portland, OR area:

Saw my first R in action (only other one I have seen was at dealer waiting to be picked up). RB 2 door doing a nice slow motion turn in front of me in the parking lot by Trader Joe's on 185th Ave on his way to Subway.

Had dealer tags in the rear window, looks like it came from Herzog-Meier VW.

Purty!

You: Heading toward Wilmington in a 2D Rising Blue R. Female pilot.
Me: In something that wasn't my Golf R heading the other way.

[BlackRabbit34]

I rode next to another blue one the other day and the girl didn't even look next to her at my car. It's like she had no idea what she was driving

That would bother the hell out of me..

[Time for a GTI]

Saw a Rising Blue at Charlotte airport about 3:30PM this afternoon. I was in my Nissan Versa rental.

[FrontWheelTDI]

Saw a 4-door Rising Blue R in West Boca yesterday, parked in the Shoppes at Boca Greens shopping center off of SR7/US441.

I was in my Carbon Steel 4-door. Was a little envious at first, since I originally wanted Rising Blue. Looks good.

Perhaps she's just like most girls and doesn't pay attention to her surroundings.

I was in that area on Saturday, but not yesterday.

I'm thinking the owner must work at one of the stores in that plaza. Saw it again today. Wasn't there when I pulled in, but was parked across from me when I was leaving.

[VWFORLIFE2012]

CSG 4dr had tow hook plate, on West Ox Rd Fairoaks area near Navy School @ 1:05 p.m. I was in FEDEX truck.

[gottaluvvw]

Wife was driving the passat wagon heading down to Galveston on 45s when I saw a cw R passing some traffic in the right lanes and you took the NASA 1 exit before we could catch up to you

[pierovw]

I finally saw my first Golf R in the wild!
It was in Houston, Texas taking the hardy toll road towards Houston around the airport. It was a Rising blue 4 door. Maybe tlud? No idea because he was opposite side of highway than me but still pumped to finally see one.

[JLCVDUB]

Just letting anyone who's interested know.... There is a Black R 4-dr base at AutoMax Killeen where I got my car.

Add me to the list. Were you at C&C this weekend?

Damn.. This is some Christian Gray s hit...

Weston, FL. Weston Road, northbound, about 6:45pm last night. 4-door RB. Anyone here?

[Dan821821]

Its attitudes of most of the people in this thread (i have kids and i want to drive a small car damn it!) that contribute to the total lack of true hot hatches in the US. Even American auto makers do not give the US market hot hatches (hello, Focus RS) because "umm, kids" and "uhh, practicality" and "ubb, hubbub." The R was the only car that met my wants in the US, in europe i would have had a dozen choices.

Im pretty sure the focus st is coming stateside the end of this year...
