That is my understanding, the dealers I spoke to said 1500 just for the UK.
Allocation to dealers seems to be on how successful at selling VW's they are.
The stealer I got mine from said he had an allocation of 7. Another stealer said he had 2 allocated and a VW stealer in Bolton said he didn't have any allocation and couldn't guarentee he could get me one but I should still place an order with him and they would try (as if!).
There still seems to be a few up for sale, ebay etc.

ED 30 will be limited to 1500 i'm guessing.  it was the same with the MKIV, only 1800 produced - 900 petrol and 900 diesel.

VW start producing next year's model (or revision) around this time of year. so if you order a Golf now it will be classed as an 08 model

What colour/spec etc did you go for Steve?
Mine was build week 21, I got it last week.

Make sure you get a free litre of oil in the boot when you pick it up. There wasn't one in mine but I asked and they gave me one in a leather bag with velcro on to keep in the boot.

exactly!
they may be limited, but they are not limited, if you know what I mean...

but if dealers don't budge on the price, that means there is demand, so it is good! I wish VW stopped making Ed30 soon!

I do.
In no way was that a decision maker-or-breaker for me, but it would be nice if the streets were not flooded with Ed30s. So far I have only seen one here, gray, though.  :laugh:
