That's awesome. I really hope that dealers will have some in-stock then for test-drives. I also hope that the media get access to them to write some reviews on the 162TSI.Originally Posted by 2017Tiguan

I'm interested to know how does this state that there will be Tiguan's on this ship?

I would like to believe that, but I seriously doubt there will be any 162 TSI R-Lines coming off at Freo in December.
A WA dealer I know had orders in NADCON for 162 TSI R-lines as soon as they were available to order. The earliest build date back then was Jan 2017. With R-Line package production at 100% capacity and delays due to that, the same dealer showed me in NADCON just this weekend gone the 162 TSI R-lines (that they've ordered at least) are scheduled to land end of March, and will probably be April before they get to the showroom.

so my car isn't an Rline but it is a 162. I have had a VIN for about A fortnight and have been told it has been built and as today or the next couple of days is due to be shipped. The delays may now be specifically related to rlines as opposed to standard 162's. That said as of yesterday the VIN hasn't come up as a shipping ID so we shall wait and see.

I received an email from VW today saying my 162 R- line has been built, but nothing about shipping yet.

Well my theory on the 6 December R-Lines is as follows. My dealer contacted me and said my 162 R-Line was onboard the Toscana now and due at Port Kembla on 15 December. He read the VIN to me off NADCON whilst I was on the phone. [WVGZZZ5NZHW850707]
I checked the VIN against Wallenius Whilhelmson and it showed up as onboard along with 327 other VW's. The order got messed up and Drivers Assist and Sunroof were not optioned so I cancelled the order. I guess if someone can decode that VIN into more detail then that may confirm whether or not the 162's are on that ship or not.

My Highline (not R-Line) is due in NSW on 27th Dec. Currently nearing South Africa. Gladbach and i purchased from the same dealer, within a few days of each other and yet his R-Line is yet to be built. Surely that suggests we're unlikely to see any R-Lines here for a while yet.

The built date of my 162kw R-line was 2016-10-18, and date of delivery (New Zealand) was scheduled at December 22nd.
The ship however is scheduled to arrive on the 15th of December, and I may even go have a look at Santa Claus' sleigh being unloaded.
