I was told today there has been 700 orders in for the first production. If you ordered before Bursary 18th you are in the first production for NA in June/July. Other like myself are SOL and will be in the next wave. No idea what the US numbers are.... but fack.
There aren't really waves for vehicle arrival. Dealers' orders are consumed by the production system once a month, based on orders entered by the dealer and available allocation. Each month's orders have a projected production month, but sometimes cars get built sooner (or later) than initially expected.
For this first month of ordering for the Golf R, the official wording from Volkswagen Canada to dealers was "Your first Golf R allocation will open today for June and July production, with expected releases starting in August. "
Thus, any orders that were entered prior to Wednesday, February 18th at 5pm EST and received allocation for production, should be in the June/July production. At this point, it is too early to tell what the final allocation for this order cycle ended up being. There's are nearly 700 orders in the system after one week of the vehicle being available to order. How many of those will get built in the June/July timeframe, that is a question that I cannot answer at this point. I expect that within the next week or two we will see how many of these 700 move forward in the production system
Not sure if this clarifies the situation at all, I'll let you know if there are any new developments....
