New Octavia ....when? How Much?

Been watching the thread for quite a while as I've just had major problems with a 2006 Passat 4motion wagon that I finally gave up on a few weeks ago! So now I'm in the market for a new car - first ever new car purchase so it's exciting!
Been really keen on the Octavia RS wagon for a while. Was thinking of throwing out my thoughts here and seeing what everyone else thinks?
Test drove 5 cars yesterday...
Skoda Octavia RS 2.0 TSI manual (test drove a sedan, but they've got a wagon coming)
Skoda Octavia RS 2.0 TSI DSG
Renault Megane GT 220 manual
Mazda 6 Touring 2.5L petrol auto
Hyundai i40 Premium 1.7 diesel auto
Myself and my other half love a bit of a sporty drive, and do like the feel of driving a manual, so the Octavia and Megane were the best to drive. Mazda was really high quality finish and the Hyundai had ALL the bells and whistles, but both just didn't set the world on fire with their drive. Smooth, but a bit like driving a bus.
The other half is leaning towards the Megane, while I've loved the look of the Skoda for some time so was hoping to go down that path. We were both a bit disappointed with the service we got from the Skoda dealer so that put a bit of a downer on that experience, but trying to not let that cloud my judgement completely.
The Skoda dealer has 3 wagons on offer...
2014, Black RS, TSI, auto tailgate, DSG, 18" Turini rims - $45,800
2014, Metal Grey RS, TSI, auto tailgate, DSG, 19" Extreme rims - $44,990
2015, Moon White RS, TSI, manual, plus some other bits but I can't remember exactly what they were - maybe a tech pack? (already in Perth, but just not at dealer yet) - quoted $45,916
Megane GT 220 - $41,746
Pretty sure the Renault dealer is keen to do a deal so that price is up for negotiation. Not sure Skoda will budge much due to the limited stock that's in the counrty.
Decision, decisions...

Pretty certain the Megane's available are 2014 models.

What was the problem with the Skoda sales experience? I am guessing this was Barbagello Osbourne Park?

Whooo!! Car has been built. Apparently on the 5 Jan. Can't get much better than that for a built date. Hopefully will have the car in early March, just before we head os again. I'm getting that sense of déjá vu!

Great news deMama. I wish you a speedy delivery, even if you did get my desired build dateI have been advised our car is now due to be built in February, although we don't have a specific week. Looks like no chance of our car being here for Easter more likely May, which will make it almost 12 months from order. Does that mean I win the Blue Whale award (12 months gestation).
