Just had email from dealer - On checking your GTI order yes it has a build week of 48 and it's actually got a production confirmed status for that week. I would expect your GTI to arrive here at the dealer the week beginning 16th Dec allowing for shipping etc..... 
I only ordered it on the 10th October...... :smug: :whistle:
Cant grumble about that eh chaps!!!!!

Almost identical situation for my GTI order (performance pack, Vienna leather, discover nav) placed on 16th October. Build week confirmed today (as per tracker) "week commencing 24/11/13" so that's week 48 I guess.  I've no idea how long shipping will take though. Allowing a week for production, my bluest guest is a few weeks in transit based on info from dealer so my possibly get before Xmas, info t early Jan I expect. So in summary, 12 - 14 weeks.

Lead times are luck of the draw I imagine.  I wouldn't have thought it would be a good idea to rush down to your dealer to place an order as soon as a new model is launched for a number of reasons other than the expectation of a longer wait.
