I’m slightly nervous now. Managed to order one last week and it’s now due with dealer today from container… I was told originally that it’d be up to 28 weeks, but pushed for them to locate one or I’d look against a later point. But one was located and due at dealer today. Should have it in a couple of weeks.
This maybe due to me not being fussy about colour or spec’in it over standard. But managed to get a black one, which I think looks very smart on these cars.

Be sure to post up some pictures when you’ve got your car.

I’ve owned my fair share of black cars over the years (I’ve had five) and IMHO they do look great when clean and shiny. The downside is the time and effort it takes to keep them looking good - I found it was a real labour of love. Adopting a safe wash technique (if you don’t do this already) and investing in some decent cleaning gear to minimise the risk of paintwork swirls is highly recommended.

Also, steer clear of the Eastern European hand car wash places, automatic car washes and don’t let the dealer wash the car when it goes back for servicing / warranty work - unless you want your car to get the ‘scratch and swirl’ look :smiley:.

I sure will. I’ve traded in my Scirocco R (which I’ll miss), and been used to keeping it shiny and white. Long time since i last had a black car and will be cleaning it with much tlc 😎

Hope all goes well. I'll be lucky to get mine before Father Christmas arrives at this rate

😂😬. Fingers crossed it’s sooner!

Good video, thanks for posting.

I took from that the ISA requirement isnt even decided upon yet, so near 0 chance of it appearing on MY22 GTI’s

Well if any notifications come out about this being added onto my order it will be cancelled and ill be scouring the classifieds for a 2021 version. Surely this could kill any future values on models with it on.

We'll see.... i suspect VW will introduce it for MY22.... because they can (tech is already onboard the Mk8 in all guises)  and its a safety system so popular with the public right?

Can anyone read German?

Spotted this on Instagram, looks to be about MY22 order but there’s also something about 36 KW

Seems his order has been pushed back and is now a confirmed MY22 build whereas before it was a MY21

The 36 means it’s the predicted delivery week 36

Sorry about those posts - not sure how I’ve managed to make such a mess on the thread
