I'm not sure about everyone else, but I live in the hear and now... and please, I am sure you understand there is no offense intended there.
But I do agree.. you do have options.
I also priced up an S3. also has ridiculous wait times.. but you can get a nice one which does not have sat nav, is the outgoing model, and my11 plated, for $88,861 OTR. over the phone I chatted him down to $76.200. and it was not similarly specced to the R (flat bottom steering wheel $700, sat nav $5K).
I later haggled down a Limited edition S3 (5door) to $78K. that's a lmost $20K more than my higher specced R is costing me, but I would get free servicing for 3 years and a nicer sunroof.
Again, both these models are outgoing, 2011 plated vehicles currently in stock.
I think just hold a sec. The Roc is now released and tehre will be others in teh same boat, that may be switching their orders. I would suggest you get friendly and chatty with your dealer about finding out what other cars are on their way already scheduled for production that are unallocated or dealer only allocated, and do a swap. You may have to compromise on options or colour, but you can still negotiate....
just means you will get it sooner.
