In fact, when first test driving a GTI at VW Sutherland 1 week earlier, the salesmen told me that same week VW Aus had announced to all dealers a 12 month minimum wait applied for all GTI's ordered Feb onwards.
So at least I knew what I was in for. And I've insisted on receiving realistic updates, not optimistic ones. Even now VW Sutherland maintains an ETA of 29 Feb 2012 for my GTI.
VW Sutherland has been upfront and honest with me the entire time and I really appreciate that. No broken promises (yet) means no false hope for me.
It's a shame some of you guys haven't received the same courtesy.
