I have no idea how this thing turned up didnt have a clue it was coming till saw it on top of transporter pulling into work today, your right we cant order a demonstrator only customers orders which need to be faxed to VW once placed. It is marked on dialog the VW system as introductory volume which some dealers maybe issued with the same eventually car but I can find only 3 other r's on there way to dealers. I am tempted to buy it myself.
