RIP Wagons....very sad news!! Volkswagen Golf wagon axed in Australia | CarExpert

A sad day indeed. A wagon was on my list for the next replacement as the kids get bigger and move out (or at least don't travel with us ).

I do wonder what it costs to have a model compliance checked for the Australian market. If they aren't selling enough unit to make this worthwhile this is understandable, but beyond that I'd love to see a list of 'special order' vehicles (and options) available to enthusiasts who are willing to wait (and/or pay a premium). The biggest one for me is colours... why do other markets get a broader range of colours than Australia?

The parts are generally shared between models so shouldn't have too much impact on repairs/warranty, although that could also be a caveat to getting a 'special order' vehicle.
