Curious. Why have you not purchased one if it ilisits such a grin? I would think after you missed the GXP you would have jumped at this chance.
As with the GXP, the timing just wasn't right. I have a big, RWD car that I don't really want to sell in order to get an SS. The SS would have to replace our other car, and my wife would prefer to have AWD on that one (and to have something a little smaller).

Even then, I went to the dealer with the intent of buying one that was advertised as being available for a steep discount off sticker last summer, but when I got there the car was gone.

So, after we missed that unicorn, we bought the new Golf R, which means we're set on cars for at least a year until the Model 3 reservation comes up and I have to decide what to do about that.
