    Tiguan R-Line Production Woes

    Afternoon guys

    It doesn't seem to get better for those guys that have ordered R-lines and are patiently waiting, and you have my sympathy

    I am one of the lucky ones that have taken delivery but came upon this on a UK Tiguan forum which I think a lot of you will
    find disappointing to say the least

    I believe that each country will have an allocation. More than likely because in the UK/Europe they can option the R-line onto Comfortline trim/lower spec engines, there's a high demand for R-line and hence longer lead times.

    Looks like the advertising works and everyone wants the car in the ad and not the base mode triml....

    5 months is not too bad considering some have waited 7-9 months.
