Hi y'all.
Real name is Carl, ordered T4 Inscription Pro on 13/12/2008, expected to arrive in UK before end of March - collection early April.
Following a disappointing wait for a VW Tiguan, ordered in August but, not sure whether it would ever be built &, following VW's attitude to the whole situation, I no longer fancied owning a VW & I therefore jumped ship to Volvo.
To be honest, I can't, for the life of me, remember why the hell I didn't order the Volvo in the 1st place. Ironically, I think I was put off by the lead times
Anyhoos, having had my fingers burnt once, I vowed to find a dealer that was on the ball & who had delivery slots already confirmed. Serendipity ensued as my local dealer had two orders in the system for March/April delivery - shook hands on a deal & cancelled my Tiguan order.
XC40 is, by far, the better car in so many ways. However, I will miss the fold-flat front passenger seat & DLA headlights (VW equivalent of Volvo AST) - but the looks (both exterior & interior) of the XC40 will more than make up for it......plus buying into a new model rather than one in its twilight years
