A big part of corporate life is getting your supply chain right. VWA is a fail.

Maybe you could get a Polo GTI in the mean time, I've heard they look like they go quite well!

Well, in fairness to "VWA" (actually called VGA), it's really not their choice now is it. Unlike other companies, they can hardly just to go another supplier and ask them to build the product instead

There is now a 12 month wait on the R... Oh hum... I ordered in Aug through barloworld mascot... Initial delivery was estimated at end of Jan... Now looking at March... Oh the pain...

Is that not 7 months? Aug-Jan?

Damn, maybe I should put my golf R up for sale when it arrives in a few weeks, 90k sound fair?

I think he means if you were to order one today it would take 12 months to arrive.

So glad i ordered mine when i did.

Christ, Er I hope My ETA still stands at Late March Early April, like I was told when I ordered 2-3 weeks ago. I will go insane!

I think we should leave it open.
It is quite amusing to read some of the things that are being written in this thread.

Some of the GTI stalwarts are now not shouting as loud as before. Probably because they have been shamed into submission. When I first stated that the R was better than the GTI (After I had test driven one in Sg in March this year), I was shouted down by several early adopter MKVI GTI owners (when they themselves hadn't even seen the inside of the R). All they had supporting their arguments were early previews and overseas reviews of the R.

You and I know the R is the better of the two vehicles - performance wise - so don't get upset about it. I love reading the crazy/far out things that are being written about on the GTI vs R debate. Want some popcorn?
