My GTI went into transit Friday. Anyone any idea where they are made? and the average wait time from transit?

Made in Pamplona Spain. Transit time from 2 weeks upward depending on how fast it gets on a ship.

Was anyone's car on City of Paris that docked in all three UK ports this week? Have you heard anything yet? Our car was built somewhere between the 3rd and 5th of February.

I was wondering where Polo GTIs were built / assembled - are they all assembled in Spain or do they use other plants in Europe?

Looks very similar to the current model from that angle, although from the back, the rear lights are now horizontal and lower down than before. I've no doubt it'll drive and handle very well. I do hope they've given it better headlights and not candle-powered halogens like the current model and they've upped the security so it's not so easy to steal as the current model.
