My order was beg. June with a broad ETA of 6-9 mths, we focused on the latter. Latest news is also (unconfirmed approx) Feb next year which is currently an 8 mth wait. Not sure if my patience will extend much beyond 9 mths.....

So I notice in your sig your eta has blown out to April?

I have a Golf .:R on order and didn't want to get stuck with a 2011 build MY12 so had it put on the contract for a 2012 build... A week later was shown an email from VWA stating no Golf R or Polo GTI production 1st quarter 2012

Hope it doesn't mean a May delivery.

Thrashing the pants off my Aurion ZR6.

Yeah, they're hoping for April now, but as order is still only at DLR spec....it's all a big guessing game.
Like you, if my order was going to have an ETA of Feb, it would mean a 2011 build and for the sake of another
month or two I would also prefer a 2012 build.
Looks like I will get my wish, even though I didn't state this on contract.

Was this email you were shown from your dealership, or VGA Head office in Sydney?

Have appt with DP and Brand Manager of dealership this Sat.
Interested to know if they also have this info.....BM did tell me they're telling any new customers ordering Polo GTI to
expect a min 12 mth wait now......
Currently, I get a three week follow up email from dealership, their excel spreadsheet on their website to track my
order via my comm. number and a VGA contact person.
The only thing that's been confirmed is that Golf R and Polo GTI orders can expect bigger than normal delays

Wouldn't April delivery be the start of the second quarter anyway?

Head office forwarded from the Stock Controller at the dealership

Wow personalized service indeed

True, though I'm sure if there is no production in 1st quarter then it's going to take at least 3-4 weeks (guessing) to put a car together then shipping so even they started 1st week in April mid May would still be very very lucky.

6 weeks for the boat from Germany to Aussie, two or three days to actually build the car once you have a build slot.

After the saga that GTI Mk6 has been through, the DP and branch manager, along with VGA should be seriously kissing arse and taking AT LEAST $5000 off the purchase price of the vehicle.

Some people are too nice though

, I personally would have gone to the media and not stopped shouting until the situation was put right

Not really, every customer at dealership gets the same followup, only extra is the current follow up on VAG customer
service reps part, due to some major issues I have chosen not to publicly share at the moment, but has been mentioned
in Gavs post....... maybe I am too nice?

Sorry my bad, didn't read your post properly, was thinking no delivery in first quarter

Based on this, I would say May could be doubtful too
