Scirocco Central

I expressed an interest in a Golf R September 15th with a £500 deposit but as no order book was open then, no dealer (anywhere) could guarantee me a Car got a phone call Friday 30/10/2009 from my local Dealer (who I placed the Deposit with) to say VW were now taken orders for a limited amount (500) and the pricing had been decided so as the only real advantage of the Golf over the Scirocco was the 4wd system and as I already have a EVO X FQ330 with 4wd I asked if I could switch my deposit to the scirocco as they look so much nicer (imo) no problem but I would need to spec it asap as VW need a firm fixed spec order by fax but even than I would still not be guaranteed a Car until VW came back to them was told by the 16th which reading on over forums seems what most were saying (Which has now passed and still not heard anything)
I ordered Candy White DSG with Black Leather 19" Alloys DVD Say/Nav Electric Drivers Seat & Cruise Control (retro fitted as it's cheaper)
Not sure how VW will allocate there orders but as they seem to be more orders than Vehicles available I think some of as may be disappointed and although I may have place a order well before others it still doesn’t place me any nearer the top of the list so good luck everyone and like the rest of you I’m waiting to see if I’ve got an order for the new R

Good luck hearing if you're one of the lucky ones, as with our others on tender hooks..

Have any of you rung the dealer to chase..?

He confirmed that there is only an allocation of 500 cars for the UK at present and that for the first two weeks of ordering cars were to be supplied on a first come first served basis and after that things might change.
But the most important part is that so far the have not taken 500 or more orders. So as things stand today all orders placed will be supplied from the first production batch, and it is now just down to getting a production week. For my order placed last week this is thought to be around early to mid March but this might be improved upon.
sounds promising

Had a Salsa red GT for the last year and can't wait to get the R, the GT has been one of the best cars I've ever had. The red one was bought as an ex demo, nice colour but the green is something else, saw one at Stonor park and Malvern fest this year , pics don't do it justice looks far better in the metal.
