Has anyone placed a ‘join the queue’ deposit of £500 with their local dealer?

VW are clearly expecting a high demand or are they trying to gauge interest??

I haven't joined the queue, but will certainly be looking to get one having had Ed20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 (missed 45).  I think the demand will be greater than the Ed40 which only sold around 570 units by the production date cut-off (of the allocated 1,000 build slots) despite the hype of the CSS.  I reckon there'll be quite a few non VW enthusiasts buying this time around which may make getting one a bit harder. 

It all depends on whether VW are going to sell as many as they get orders for by a certain date, or whether they are going limit the production slots and once they're gone that's it.  I think I'm just going to wait and see and hope I don't miss out!
