Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[Mr T.]

I'm interested if anyone who has ordered their 7.5 R in the last month if they have a COMM number or a confirmed delivery date. My dealer has no info and is chasing/waiting on VW confirmation which apparently will happen on the 8 Aug.

I heard this too. I have ordered a Wolfsburg Wagon.
Apparently a bulletin was received yesterday that due to demand in Europe they won't know any vehicle delivery date until 8th August, Australia wide.
They now don't know if vehicles will start arriving end Aug or later.

Yep, I've had something similar. I've like to know how New Zealand get their cars earlier than we do (they're an even smaller market than we are) Can any NZ-ers confirm their deliveries or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Wonder if the supply shortage from dynaudio or whover makes the discover pro 2 unit is why the R doesnt get them as an option?

There seems to be a few of us who think the Great Dynaudio Delete Debacle of 2017 exists solely due to the existence of the Wolfsburg edition, especially as it's available on --every-- other model. IMHO, as soon as the "Wolfies" run dry, Dynaudio will suddenly appear on the Rs option list.

Wouldn't surprise me. When I ordered my 7R at the back end of 2015, I was told that if I wanted a blue car (which I did), I would have to wait for the Wolfie production run to end as it had priority on the lines. Now, I was never able to confirm if that was porkies or not but I asked 2 QLD dealers and got similar-ish responses plus a national fleet. Just couldn't source one quickly.

Therefore, the Dynaudio supply being constrained due to the Wolfie is quite likely IMO.

The whole 'virtual cockpit' thing (as in, navigation where the speed dials used to be) - is that a standard feature, or do you need the DAP?

I've also been told 'expect Q1 2018' from 1 dealer for new R orders.
