Re: the truth is out there

I ordered our allowed allocation of V6 syncros in the spring (97) and now
it seems that the first one will be produced during week 47....

I know that a few have arrived in the country already, my allocation  from
the spring was four units, no more will be allocated to us before the first
batch for the dealers has been scheduled for production.  I expect to get
allocated four to six more units for next spring-summer delivery.  We sell
approx. 500 new VW's a year - so go figure - delivery times are a total
mystery.

I've told the sales staff not even to offer these cars to anyone until they
are physically here, as there is no road to customer satisfaction when
delivery times are close to 12 months.
