Does the colour of car relate to bulid week???

Post by Drigbyy2k »

Hoping to start a little thread here to see if there maybe some logic behind what I was reading in another thread, see here http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/ ... =13&t=3316" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So if lots of people who have cars on order in "Candy white" are getting told build week 45, what weeks have others been told for there colour.

I will start things of, I have been told build week 50 for "Viper green"...

Don't think the theory holds true, it just the Candy White has been a popular order colour this year. As there are Wk43 Candy's on the ship this weekend.

As Chris says, I think its purely coincidental.
If it was the case they would be alot more accurate on advising build weeks & in theory people choosing a less popular colour would have to wait forever until a whole week was filled up which is not viable. VW want the whole colour selection out there to see not restricted to when they are able to fill a week with one colour.

It is also a similar case with shipping within reason, the ship will sail when it full, so near enough but not specifically once a week or once a fortnight.
