Looking around to move up from a Tiguan to the Toureg V6 TDI model with most options (incl Dynaudio) but knowing the MY15 has reduced drag and apparently improved features such as infotainment, Start Button on V6 models, better lights, grille styling etc., I am thinking wait for it to arrive.
My fleet buyer has been told VWA will reduce their discount from a % to fixed amount (much less) from June 1 so this means buy a MY14 for a better price or hope that MY15 is worth the extra cost.
If the fuel consumption has been reduced to 7L/100KM or less then the Luxury Tax cost should be less as the threshold shifts from $60K to $75K, this is what Porsche have acheived with the Macan, so my guess is that VW will reach it, at least with the V6 TDI & 150 models.
As for when the production line changes to MY15, this is unknown but I am told a 4 month wait for a factory order so if Aust is to get the MY15 later this year, then I suspect an order around August could be for the newer model.
Anyone wish to comment or add to this as I only have until Friday to get an order in to meet the discount deadline. Seems VWA has had management changes at the top and becoming more retail orientated rather than fleet, perhaps to poor past management.
What discounts on Touaregs has been achieved by any factory order purchase, anyone care to reveal?

. Aparently the new corp deal may include capped servicing, not sure precisely but will face a lesser discount taking it over 95K. Not sure how a dealer can quote when prices are not released either. This is a big decision to make as there is so much out there in the market at this price bracket but I can't go past the interior and new styling of the MY15 compared to the Cayenne or Q7 but then I see the next model Tiguan may offer a 7 seater which is longer than the Touareg. By next year all these models will be out and can be compared. 4 Month factory wait confirmed as well. I might learn more tomorrow but I feel if the MY15 model can't be ordered just yet then surely a MY14.5 at a good price should around for a while, as stocks are offloaded. The German factories week 22 has arrived yes but when the Slovakian factory changeover who knows, do they make the Porsche/VW/Audi at different times or in parallel I wonder?
