GTI Clubsport.....Can't be long now

The link below shows what a black Golf GTI clubsport will look like

Looks like Carbon grey to me 

i was looking at the image on my phone in bright sunlight at the beach if that's any defense for my faux par 

I'll let that one slide then

I mediate here: it's a 'light black' car rather than a 'dark black' model.

So if it's light black, then my poor eye sight, err...   visibility didn't fail me

Anyone else getting bored of waiting?

My build week is at the end of the year which they say will move forward but with the original expectation of the car being here later Sept and my old car going any minute now I'm unsure when I'll be happy again

Originally ours was supposed to be built this week, now its week commencing 19th September.

Ours was also too supposed to be last week, dealer not confirmed any different but the tracker still saying build week confirmed, but now not stating a week, I guess because the week has past?

Something obviously going on, will try and find an update tomorrow, as was hoping for a September 1st or very early Sept delivery.

I think it's related to this:

Europe's largest automaker had said on Wednesday that production of its top-selling Golf model at Wolfsburg was being hit because supplier ES Automobilguss GmbH has stopped delivering cast iron parts needed to make gearboxes.

Popped into a local dealer last weekend and was told to expect a 6-9 month wait on a new Clubsport order.  I thought when they announced them earlier in the year, they also said there was a cut-off month for making them (September?)?

I guess they stop production of the Clubsport when they start the production of the VII facelift, which is around the end of this year I think.

There will be some nice features in the facelift such as a the full LCD dashboard and the much improved basic GPS. But we ordered the Clubsport, and happy with that :-)

I thought there were only 1500 CS and that's it? so if they build in sept how can delivery be 9 months?
