1087 sold YTD. Estimate is 1500ish for MY 2012 (MY 2013 orders are already being taken; last '12 should hit here in July).

Interesting to look at some of VW's other numbers. They sold nearly as many GTIs as Golfs (c. 1800 of each), and slightly more Jetta wagons than that (c. 2000), but in case you have any questions about what Americans really want...

They sold almost 14,000 Jetta sedans.

I saw one of those on my way home from the gym last night. First thought that entered my head was that it looked like a new Kia Optima with a jacked up suspension and big wheels.

Pristine E28 M5 @ BMW of Chattanooga today. Sorry for the poor quality photos. My 4S is a POS.

Edit: BTW, I love (sarcasm) where the tech decided to park my E90 after it was serviced, under a E65/E66 on a lift (pic 1).

Looks like they jacked it so high they ran out of vertical space to complete the windows.

Perfect condition E36 M3/4. Made me momentarily miss my old E36.

Dark grey 4-door yesterday AM. I didn't think I'd like it in that color, but it looked serious. Not bad at all.
