The way some of our orders are going, this will be on par with VW.  I don't remember Honda taking this long with the Type-R's I have had in the past. Maybe it's a thing of whether the factory is in this country or not along side many other variables of course.

I know someone who has a similar problem, they ordered their car in April and it probably won't arrive until November,  oh wait, that's me and everyone else who has ordered a GTD.

To be perfectly fair to Volkswagen they do make an average of 18,000 cars a day. The demand is just so high for them and they are working at full load but they can't perform miracles. Yes it's a long wait but it's a long wait that's worth it.

It seems it the same world-wide and across the model range of VW. I'm in Switzerland and waited 5 months 4 years ago for a now Polo and have been quoted 4 - 5 months on the Mk7 GTI.

It's a nice business model: make a better mousetrap and everyone beats a path to your showrooms. Factories with "just in time" systems - so no expensive stock is held. Finally it creates such a demand that drastic discounting is avoided on new models and even keeps up trade-in prices.

I bet every car manufacturer would like to run things like VW. Bummer for the customers though...

Result...spoke to a very nice lady @VW customer service on Friday, asked if she could confirm BW as only provisional whilst I was talking I mentioned that I really I need the vehicle mid Nov, gave my order no. Call ed me back today and advise my car will be in the uk mid Dec at the earliest maybe delays due to christmas but will be willing to order me a car to drive until mine arrives...she quotes" Sir when would you like this courtesy vehicle..my answer well mid Nov..she answer: its not 20 weeks at that point but im willing to arrange this for you..
Great service now it means I do not need to PX my car, I can get the courtesy car and put mine in the paper and get  decent money...im saving already!!!!
