No surprise there for the majority of us here. Mine is already looking like 20 weeks from order to build, add in 2 to 4 weeks for delivery on top of that and I am no-where near amongst the worst affected here. The Equity in my current car is growing by about £340 a month for every month I am waiting. If it wasn't for the extra PS/higher economy (if it actually happens - 150PS GT mpg seems disappointing in reality) and Xenons i'd probably have cancelled the car and stuck with my Scirocco for all the chew i'm going through for this GTD.

Following a Test Drive 2 weeks ago i was told 20 weeks for delivery (should I place an order), which now looks about right in light of the above.

So does this relate to new orders now or previous orders?

Hmm I was told last weekend, that if I was to order I could expect delivery towards to end of September. Seems like complete BS?

By the looks, new orders today won't be ready until nearer December/January?!

My dealer told me on Monday that if anyone orders this week you'll be lucky to get it by Xmas. Depends on not only lead times but also dealer allocation.
