[frozze]

Where did you get the info from??

Bluetooth, Media Device and daytime running lights are now standard across all Polo models for MY12.

Polo GTI now standard with RCD510 and comfort package for vehicles built from November 2011 onwards

Polo Trendline is now a 5 door!

Thats all for now

How does this affect pricing on orders already made, because I paid for both of those :\

From the top. I expect your dealers will know by now. Looks like your just going to miss out on free bluetooth and MDI.

When is your car being built? If it is after November you will get them for FREE, or at least you should.

That would be MY 12.5. MY 12 kicked off about 2 months ago

That's what I thought. I wonder if I can cancel my order and move it to the MY12.5.

Has anyone been in similiar situation before and cancelled their order, moved to the newer built year?

Memo from VGA calls it revised MY12 NOT MY12.5

Had a quick email exchange with my dealer guy. He said he "can't confirm at this stage" --> meaning he probably knows something already. But will let me know asap. Good thing is, my car hasn't been built yet. So fingers crossed.

Production of revised comfortline models does not start until week 2 of 2012. GTI starts November 2011.

Hah.. okay.. that's not too good! Decisions, decisions..

Be careful. As changing your order will almost certainly result in an extended wait time, especially if your dealer has no build slots left to allocate. The revised MY12 Polo can not be ordered by dealers at this stage anyway. Orders already in the system that are due to be built after week 2 next year will automatically change specification.

That's the tough decision that we'll probably have to make. Just gotta weigh up the pros and cons.

The car is due sometime in Dec (possibly Jan) anyway. So waiting for another 2 months or so might not be so bad especially given the extra features. My missus definitely do not need the car immediately. Just not sure how trouble we would have to go through to change the order. I'm sure the dealer wouldn't be too thrilled about it.

I dont have a build date yet, so it's pretty safe to say i'll be getting them. Definitely making sure my dealer will drop the price

Your dealer should not really mind at all. Its like a bonus sale to them. I am sure they can find someone to buy the in demand car you would be cancelling. The real problem is just how long it will take for the new one to arrive, keep in mind since you placed your order another 20? or so people may have also placed Polo orders and you will be right at the back of the queue.

Good points! Will take these into consideration when the dealer gets back to me with some info.
