Car Ordered - 28-1-2015
Order Accepted - 16-2-2015

"Original Date" (I guess this is expected date) - 8-8-2015!!!!!!!!

That will be 27 weeks if the case!

Had my R confirmed today at 21 weeks and he reckoned that GTD's are the same but couldn't offer an explanation as to why.

It was either on a German magazine or German car news site.

Came across it whilst surfing.

Flip so 12 week estimate was way off lol.

My Gti arrived in 10 weeks, even the Stealer was surprised! I assumed it must have been someone's cancelled order, but turns out not. Miracles do happen!

I'm totally new to this forum and I ordered a GTI 24 April and it arrived on Monday. Makes that under two months turnaround. Pretty impressed with it but wondering how Wolfsburg managed it. Must be a catch somewhere! Got build week almost 1st week in. Not much spec above base model! Excited to collect her soon. No more taxis for me and getting pooed on by seagulls!

That sounds like its been an order in the system that has been cancelled by a previous owner which happened to have the exact same specs as yours. Especially since you had a build week in the 1st week.

Was that a confirmed build week? i.e. the car was built 4 weeks from that date?

Welcome by the way. Its a friendly bunch on here

Hello! Thanks been a fly on the wall for a while but thought now the dream is real I'll contribute a bit more here! Yes, confirmed build week the following Friday I ordered, and they stuck to the schedule with it being built within days of it commencing (as promised BW22). Astonished to see some of the discrepancy between R and GTD against GTI model build times at the moment, even if mine was a cancelled order!

Mine is a new order placed on 01.05.15 - Tracker update today is that the car is built and at Stage 5a - left the factory.  I ordered it with being told to allow 19 weeks as I will register it as a 65 plate, so it's going to be here well in advance of that - happy days!
