Mine arrived on the Primrose Ace in Jacksonville in 12/18 and did get a "quality hold" last week. The 12/26 update was the hold had been lifted. Still waiting on final confirmation that it has been released to the carrier.
My TTRS is on the Siem Cicero which was due to dock in Davisville R.I.
around the 31st. Today I checked and the ship has changed course and is going to South America, then back to England before heading back to R.I. Guess I'll be waiting a little longer for my car.

That doesn't sound right. Are you sure you are tracking the right car on the right ship?
As an update. I talked to my dealer, who confirmed yesterday my TT RS is in port. Still waiting to be invoiced to my dealer. It now shows up with a price in their dealer website. We don't know yet whether it is affected by the Port Hold.
Overall, here is the timeline so far. The crossing took 21 days from Emden to Houston.
More rumors/details on the Port Hold for the RS3 and TTRS's...
(My car, on GOODWOOD, should be arriving into Houston in an hour or so...! And then held in port for eternity...)
Unfortunatly part of this update is the removal of the pops n bangs that were on all the press cars and the early European release cars. There's lots of documented complaints online about our European friends going in for service and coming out with a far less fun sounding car.

I've been tracking the Siem Cicero since it left Emden. For a few days the tracker showed it changing course but then the tracker showed it heading toward RI again. It should arrive in RI today. I'm sure my car is on that ship but I'm taking delivery in Wisconsin so I think my car will be unloaded in Houston. It's getting close.

Yes, seems like those "future course" trackers aren't the most reliable - my ship was going to do a swing up the East River of Manhattan!?! Here... You can watch your boat leaving here. http://www.warmwinds.com/surf-cam/
As for the Port Hold...
I got a "no-update-update" email back from Audi CXC's Vincenzo yesterday (Jan 2) ...pretty much saying he's backed up with zillions of emails requesting an update on TTRS's and RS3's... He's attempting to get to the bottom of it, but no info on the "why" or the "when" (in my case).
