Default Waiting on the 2018 TT RS

Does anyone know when we might receive the 2018 TT RS? My dealer in Minneapolis (technically Richfield MN) told me mine arrived at Port of Houston June 5. Yesterday she said that there are 144 total for the US for this 1st release, and that they are ALL at port now, so should be released "soon." She does not know what the holdup is. Maybe EPA? Or does Audi make some splashy release?

I communicated with an AoA distribution guy and he speculated that it would probably be late this month or early next. They have yet to clear all the regulation compliance hurdles and after dieselgate, the feds are double checking everything.

My dealer said they are scheduled to be released to the trucks on July 7th or thereabouts. I've been pestering for a test drive to decide if I'm going to order a new one.

July 7: right around the corner. Thank you! I test drove a TTS and just decided to take the plunge with the TT RS. The one my dealer is getting just happens to have options I like. It's Glacier White Metallic. I wonder what that looks like. Anticipation ....

Keep in mind that this was really just a guestimate. He didn't have anything to back that up :-)

I'll still take it. With a grain of salt.
