Fair enough!
Good luck, let us know how you go.

I called Sydney VW dealer on Friday to ask about ordering a new GTI - manual, Red with leather seats and was told 6 month wait. That sounds crazy to me.

Does this sound right to others?

Well in November last year I was told that if I wanted a manual R in blue it would be May 2016 before I got it, so it's possible based on what is in the country or already on a boat.

My manual R landed on the 2nd June and will hopefully be complied and at the dealer this Friday. 54k with assistance no roof. Probably will pay for the additional warranty.

no call back today, so it seems they dont want the sale.
might see if another dealer is interested.

Just ordered a GTI 40th (per my other thread)... now tearing up inside between Carbon Steel Gray vs White. I ordered Carbon Steel Gray when I put my deposit but now looking at videos I think it's darker than I pictured in my head (I think I was thinking of the Golf R Limestone Gray)...

What do

personally, lighter colours look much better to me - you lose the definition & body lines with dark colours. I do like white, but my second choice after LSG was silver.

Carbon Steel Grey is the grey that is available on Mk7 and Mk6 GTIs - it's a very common colour, so you should have no trouble seeing it in the flesh.

Caved in and went for White. Confirmed with my sales rep that manual vehicles are not formally allocated yet but mine should be secured.

Now just to wait...
