The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

Greetings all,

I just traded in my 5mo old Golf 77TSI (with goodies) on a MY12 CW GTI Manual. It'll be about a week until I get it and absolutely stonking price! Will post when I retrieve the receipt from my car.

Ha!

For anyone interested in current production times, I got a confirmed build week for my order.

Ordered Week 1 October 2011, delivery June 2012. Total wait time - 8.5 months.

It's a manual with everything except SatNav and reverse camera.

The things I found out in my many calls to the dealer and VWA are below. Take them all with a grain of salt as I'm not sure who really knew what they were talking about.

- The first actual builds allocated to Australia for manual R's since October this year are in Week 15 2012
- Apparently there are only 8 manual R's being built for Australia in this slot
- There were meant to be slots in week 2 2012 but these didn't eventuate - this was apparently a decision by VW global
- The dealer thought I would get a January build slot; this didn't happen hence June delivery instead of March/April
- VWA are holding orders in Week 33 2012, presumably for the MY13, which will likely be a revised Mark 6, not a Mark 7
- Mark 7 isn't expected in Australia until a full year after European launch

Again, take it all with a grain of salt.

That's about it. I'm going to put the feet up and wait until the depths of winter '12 before I'll be sitting back relaxing in my new Recaros. How a car company expects to overtake Toyota as number one manufacturer in the world with delays like this is absolutely beyond me. It's a pity I want the car

Week 15 is probably mid-late April. So all going well you can probably assume delivery won't be until late June or early July.
