Numbers I've seen (don't know if they were official) indicate original intent was to sell 5,000 in North America - 800 in Canada, 4,200 in the U.S. My understanding is this would line up with 2004 Mk IV Golf R32 and 2008 Mk V Golf R32 North American sales. Also seen info Webcrawlr refers to, which may limit 2012/2013 Mk VI Golf R North American sales to less than 5,000, perhaps far less. If so, the 2012 Golf R will be quite a rarity indeed. Dave
