I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

[NZ_GolfR]

I know the feeling, I ordered mine wayyy back at the end of July so will be about 5 months from order to delivery which is by far the longest I have waited for a car. My last 2 cars (MK6 GTI and MK6 R) were exdemo ones so only had to wait a couple of days to get them. The one before that was the original Mazda 3 MPS which I ordered before they were released so had to wait a little while but definitely not 5 months!

FROGASAURSAS, As i said in previous posts, my customer also a car dealer manager and sale rep from VW, they came to me more often so that they told my wife your car coming soon since last week, i asked her to call them for VIN but they answered the VIN will be here with the car, not now. Haha. Does not matter, they cant cheat me anyway.

NZ _ I have waited for the car to be realeased in Australia since APRIL but really disappointed when i was told from the Manager that the 162 WONT be in until next year. REally shock because i drop Mazda CX9 to pick this one but it took a lot longer. That's why i hope Tig should be good, otherwise my wife wont let me go with technology anymore eventhough our previous A5 was good, but my wife said "A metal cage sits on 4 wheels" only ... as long as it drive. It is good. Hehe

All you guys with the exception of NZ_GolfR have you all ordered the 162 in R-Line form?

I think 80% of people wandering around this topic are waiting for their 162 R line, DAP + Sunroof. My Tig is same as theirs.

Not me---Base Highline 162tsi. Once you start adding everything it gets out of control.

I got told a new R Line will be Apr 26 arrival in aus, even later delivery.

I can't wait that long. I waited 7months for my Golf R, never again!

Must have for me is Black, DAP. Don't want sunroof really because of the see through blind.

Would love the R line - but that's like 6 months away. I can get non R line in 2 months.

Hmm... I'm dying with this one. Maybe see if there's another colour R line?

Are R lines only black silver and white ?

At least in Australia that's all your choices.... unfortunately

R-line is available in pure white, tungsten silver, indium grey and deep black pearl. So shades of grey only - no orange, blue or red.

Car looks way better in R-line trim, but understand not wanting a 7 month wait on a car. There are diesel R-lines available... even a couple showing on carsales at NSW dealers.

The wait time is an absolute joke. Was reading in some European forums, there are people who ordered in July with still no build date confirmed. Fits in with their slogan though "easy to forget it's a family car". Yeah when you have to wait 7 months for it.

I can't even see an R-Line in WA and I would like to see one before putting a deposit down because it's not exactly pocket change.

Here's the full text of the delay bulletin anyhow if people are interested...

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the high demand of the R-Line package on Tiguan 162TSI Highline and 140TDI Highline globally, we are unfortunately experiencing delivery delays.

Expected delivery of current orders that have not yet been scheduled ranges from February to May 2017, with new orders likely not to be delivered prior to May 2017.

We are working closely with the factory to increase the R-Line package production quota in order to speed up delivery.

To manage expectations, customers with an existing Tiguan R-Line order and new customers that order a Tiguan R-Line will receive a 'Thank You' letter and model Tiguan in appreciation of their order. Customers will also receive a follow-up call to confirm receipt of the gift. Every 4 to 6 weeks customers will receive an update on the progress of their vehicles build with surprise moments to maintain interest and excitement.

We sincerely apologise for this delay and any inconvenience this may cause.

Best regards,
