I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

Very true about the car park.

saw the colour on an Alltrack. I think it works really well.

unfortunately it won't be a Cayman, which was my preferred choice but I need something that can carry a bit of gear these days. At this stage thinking, Jag XES, BMW440 or Audi S5. I also really like the Audi S3 RS3 but might not have the people carrying capacity I need.

the good thing is I can start amusing myself with test drives soon(ish). Might add a Macan and F pace to the list.

So any first impressions from a test drive yet? I won't get a chance until possibly Friday

Whilst some of us are eagerly awaiting the official launch date, I have a question on likely accessories, specifically the roof bar.
Anyone have any idea what the ballpark price is likely to be, and also whether it will be compatible with roof pods by Thule, Yakima, etc?

Just ordered a 140 highline rline + da + sunroof yesterday. December Delivery :(

That's exactly the model/specs I'm looking at. How did you go on the price, Ninja?

Hey X rated, I didn't get much of a discount IMO, got $1000 off RRP... cash price no trade in's... That's what happens when you order a new car that isn't even in their system yet. I'm sure you could get more off when the officially announce the car in two weeks time.

Thanks Ninja, I'm looking for changeover from my current A200CDI about this time next year, so I'm hopeful the feeding frenzy will have died down a bit by then!

Enjoy your drive.

I was told on Friday by my dealer that the 162 orders can be entered into the VWA system this week. I think from tomorrow. Not sure what that means still in terms of delivery (told late January) but I guess it gives VW 10 weeks or so to build it and then a month or so for shipping and local preparation.

Probably a timeline that isn't out of the question but I can also see how it might well slip into late February.
