Yeah 71 plate more likely.

I just wish they'd be a little more honest - and I don't mean your dealer, i mean VW to the dealer.

Either the salesman isn't being straight with you, or someone isn't being straight with the salesman.

VW have had almost a year to adapt to social distancing. As Exonian suggests, VW and lots of other manufacturers are experiencing major supply shortages with semiconductors. I'd expect that's the real reason your car is delayed.  :sad:

They seem to be churning out the mk8 R. Quite a few that ordered a couple of weeks ago have got BWs of 6,7 or 8 already

Were these broker ordered cars by any chance? They often seem to favour fleet department ordered broker cars for faster build slots.
