New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[STALLED]

Sounds about right. Nothing scientific, but based on perception - I'd say that the clear majority of Octavias I see on the roads are RS Wagons...

Anyone noticing the same?

I'd agree. In Melbourne, seems like 2 out of every 3 Octavia's I see are RS wagons

There's a race blue one parked outside my work everyday

At least one RS wagon will be destined to be offloaded at Port Kembla, that's mine

Edit: scratch that, I'm on the 'Carmen' so not the same ship. Mine's due on the 17th so I just assumed it was the same boat.

The Carmen is expected to dock at 8:30pm today 14-7-15 - Appleton dock b, same dock the Tirranna was berthed at. The port of Melbourne website has an arrivals section which gets updated hourly. Also has webcams you can control to look at the ship's.

WWL to search by ship name, note will give list of planned routes including future ones, current one (carrying your car may be second or third on the list.)

Definitely more wagons and more vrs (Mk2 & 3), have also seen 4 Superbs all wagons

I was doing the same... Mine docked on the 26th but it took them (Patricks) about 2 weeks to do compliance and then get it to Adelaide

i spoke to the dealer and their stock controller was able to find out that it had been complianced.

I went into the dealer I bought our orginal Octavia from years back so try and figure out when to place an order so it gets built first thing next year. Talk about your typical bad salesperson, he was not listening at all to what I was saying and kept trying to get me to order one today that will arrive around Dec. Eventually after I explained for the umpteenth time that I want it built early in the year he said to come back in Sept/Oct. Which is the first thing I said I suspect I have to do. They really don't want to do anything for you unless they can put the order in the system now. Which is fine and why I asked him that specifically, but I know I want nothing to do with that person if I return again.
