It never ceases to amaze me how given the limited knowledge you'd need to know everything sales related about the vw range that time and time again they don't have a clue. Compared to the product knowledge needed for my job it's pathetic. It's not hard to learn this stuff.

Got to say I'm a bit disappointed if it's true about the fog lights even if it's only from a looks point of view and you do actually get fog lights in the main light units -  I think the lower fins in the bumper without the fogs look like there is something missing - the cars with fogs in the bumper complete "the look".
I agree - the front fogs for aesthetics look great.  IMO its a backward step on the looks front.  Coupled with no Sport & Sound option and they're not selling it strongly for me, even though I'm due to change shortly.

Just had confirmation that orders for the MK7.5 PP have been pushed back to week 35. No details as to why though.

Maybe 7 speed DSG related?

Or could it be due to a shortage of front fogs......

I doubt it'll be gearbox related as the DSG7 is in the GTD and no delays there....

VAQ diff related?

Maybe high demand in the countries where the GTI Performance is already available to order?

Does anyone know if the delivery is being delayed in other markets?
