R36...pre-ordered!!!

Well with the RNS being so new I'm not surprised however its a bit disappointing VW would stuff up like that. They prob had some delivery/manufacturing issue and decided to proceed with the install and not delay production.

Yeah it's a pretty big screw up. I'm confident that a retrofit will be available... it can't be too hard. I hope.

mine is due to be built next week (wk 21) and was ordered with reversing camera, dynaudio, sunroof & auto tailgate so I hope they do actually fit all of the options or I'll be really

Hey all

Finally managed to get onto the forums here to lend a helping hand with info you may all be chasing. Let me know if you want any details confirmed and I'll pass on what info I can.

Cheers,

Found out today my R36 sedan is being built as we speak. Scheduled arrival date in Australia is July 22. I'm told it take 3 weeks to "prepare the car", so I'm on track for a mid-August delivery.

Hi Iain,
I guess the pressing question is whether VWA is going to allow the release of cars if they arrive in Australia prior to the scheduled formal launch date (which is when?).

I have just got home from work and got a little package in the main, the most interesting part of it is the Volkswagen Price List April 2008.

In this it has the R36 listed with the RNS510 with RVC & Dynaudio & changer all as standard equipment....The optional stuff is Leather Upholstery with electric drivers seat $2,990, New York 18" wheels $790, Off-Road Technology $750, Anti Theft alarm $1,990.

Either VW have made a massiv stuff up in printing or we are all in for a BIG surprise come delivery day.....

Duuuuude!

That sounds like a screw up to me - the R36 should have electric/memory front seats and an alarm as standard - they're both part of the reason I ordered one.

Also, off road technology... on an R36. What? Sure they didn't mean R50?

None of that makes sense. Somebody must have screwed up... none of those options are anything like the options on the German R36's, or what I ordered, or what what was shown at the motor show. Weird!
