Gung-Ho: My information says you are the second order ever placed (that we know about).  You were beaten to the post by one day.  The earliest order with BW confirmed on the tracker was placed a couple of days after you.  Not sure if that is good news or bad.

Whaaaaat!!! That SUCKS!!! Big time!!!

The only consolation is that my dealer has confirmed their system is showing provisional Week 27.... Lets hope that's accurate.

Unable to complete as you don't list Carbon Grey in the Colours!

Hi there how did you manage to order one in Carbon Grey ?

I love that colour but it wasn't an option, so I went with Oryx white!

I think Carbon Grey has always been an option on the dealers computer system, it's only the configurator on vw.co.uk that's never shown it. It's in the brochure too.

Carbon Grey apparently was available on VW system at orders open day, but as said is not on the VW configurator - I stuck out & asked my salesman to check for Carbon Grey and that was when he learnt it was actually available - that'll be the 4th Carbon Grey for me - ace colour - the new Black!

I had emailed VW and asked why carbon grey was not available and they said decisions on colour availability were market dependent, and not all colours were available in all markets, so stupidly I took that as gospel and never asked the dealer about carbon grey!!

Which poor soul is wk38? :sad: I thought I was the worst at wk37!

There are about 8 responses to the survey I've not yet gone over, hopefully I can do that today and add them to my analysis.  To be honest though, things are looking pretty random.  The only thing that seems to reliably delay an order is the sunroof, and I think that has just been blown out of the water with one of the recent responses I got.  If I had to put money on how they pick which order things get built in right now... I'd say they pull numbers out of a hat. :rolleyes:
