I've had a confirmation from the dealer for a week 22 build, which puts it about 2 weeks from now...as a MY13 build. supposedly the reason it took 10 weeks to confirm the build date with head office was this timing with the new model coming off the production line...

at the time I ordered I was told it would be a 5-6 month wait, its a big increase in timing if that delay has now ballooned out to 12 months...in which case I'm glad I ordered when I did. I have heard of many delayed orders due to shortages and production allocation etc, fingers crossed its any such transition from MY12 to MY13 goes well and there are no delays as such...

in regards to your comment, are you suggesting that even thou I've ordered my vehicle and paid my deposit, they can later charge me more if the new model has an increase...? I (perhaps incorrectly) assumed that my deposit was deemed part of a contract that locked the price in at the time of the order. Likewise if the price falls, I wont be entitled to it since I have signed an order at the existing price structure etc...

I'm interested to hear of your story, either way...
