Default 2016 TTs at the port?

A dealer in my area told me the 2016 TTs are already arriving at 'the port' in the US. They are waiting for pricing and an official launch date to make this public knowledge. Can anyone confirm or deny this rumor as I'll call it now?

I have no inside information, but I am not buying it for a second.
The timing is all wrong. Websites still have Mk2s on them.
All press drives were told unofficially August-September timeframe.

I actually took something said in the wrong context. When we were talking abut TTs I was told 2016 Audis were starting to arrive at the Port. I assumed TTs but I was told yesterday A7s are now arriving. Sorry for the bad data point everybody!

Not sure if its of any help to those waiting to see a new TT at their stealership, but I saw a new Florett Silver Metallic TT coupe heading down Park Avenue in Manhattan last week. It looked even better in person than in photos. I noticed it didn't have a front plate, but couldn't tell the state on the rear. Is it possible this was a press car? It was a little too early to be here for the auto show starting next week, no?

We were expecting AoA to bring a Mk 3 test car to TT West next month for the participants to drive during the event but AoA has backed out. At past TT West events, we were able to drive test versions of the Mk 2 TTS and TTRS 1-2 years before they were offered for sale here. Interesting trivia, the US government requires the test cars to be crushed once testing is complete.

I'm wondering if the new 2016 Audi TT was shown at any of the North American International Auto Shows yet? Does anyone know, been to one and seen it? I wrote a note to AofA, but they haven't responded yet. The Denver Auto Show is in early April and I plan to go. I'm hoping there may be one there to see.

Audi showed the new TT at a number of North American shows.
(LA, Detroit, and Toronto as I recall, and maybe others)

Went to the Denver Auto Show over the weekend, April 11. Audi did not show the new 2016 TT/TTS, so I was disappointed. Also I visited the Audi dealer in Denverand they said to expect the new TT/TTs in the show rooms in August or September. Pretty much what we already know or heard.
