When I was ordering my work car last year in April I was told 10 months for an A3 S-line, 7 months for a GTD and 10 weeks for the Leon FR to my spec, hence my choice.
IMO the lead times were ridiculous and I was advised down to the manufacturers servicing the demands of the Chinese market first, LHD Europe next and the UK last, how true this is I have no idea mind.
