On a positive note; does anyone think that the delays in ordering has something to do with why the VW's have good depreciation figures when compared to some rivals? Given that I am at nearing the end of my 6-7 month wait I am probably a little more positive at this stage than those that are just embarking on the long wait.

Maybe, but then again if you order a car in December 10 expecting to get it in April 10 and then are told you're going to get it in Aug/Sep 10 you've already got a 2011 car that's the best part of 12 months old as far as resale a few years down the track will view it.

I'm not sure I follow. You get a car with a build date generally 8 weeks after it's built then it gets a compliance plate at the docks/pre delivery centre saying the compliance date. If I order a car in December 2010 then receive it in September after being built in June 2011, it doesn't get a build date of 12/2010, it gets a build date of 06/2011 and complianced 09/2011......told you're going to get it in Aug/Sep 10 you've already got a 2011 car that's the best part of 12 months old as far as resale a few years down the track will view it.

Does this mean a lucky few may not actually have to wait until July?

I was lucky enough to get the chance to put a couple hundred km on a press GTI yesterday, that fix should hopefully help me survive the wait

Agreed. But isn't the model itself a year older?

Just confirming gavs earlier info. VGA should know by next week what is going to be built for Australia, fingers crossed mine will be on the first shipment....yeah right. I managed to get a COMM number from my dealer, at least that is a start, I have forward this to customer care at VG Germany and cc Anka as well. And the queen said 'let them have GTIs' hope the rumour is true. Will keep you guys posted on further developments.

Not when all the vehicles being built from now on are considered MY 11.5, even if they were ordered last year. The only MY10 models (or MY 11, I'm not sure the exact designation) are the ones already here which are generally dealer cars etc.
Ahhh, ok. I was told 2-3 weeks for full confirmation, either way, it looks like mine will be, or the second.... Or third... Aw who cares, all I know is that it will be here before July nowJust confirming gavs earlier info. VGA should know by next week what is going to be built for Australia, fingers crossed mine will be on the first shipment....yeah right.
