I have to agree with you. I have not heard this from where I purchased the car but the other dealer visited said that if I ordered Volkswagen Australia have so many gti build slots but these would be used to build the gti performance and R for Australia. But if a dealer had a order they could put the case forward to get one of these slots...

I think our dealers have not done this ...
