I talked to my dealer earlier this week and he says they'll be getting 3 initially but he won't know more until Friday about what he's actually getting. Seems like Driver Assist may be delayed so guessing few if any will get that as their initial allotment?
How Much Longer Must I Wait for a 2015 Sportwagen.

The dealer here knew it was a Silver SEL with lighting package but no Driver Assist. To bad, not what I wanted, so I will just have to wait.

Anyone get theirs yet? I ordered mine...night blue metallic TDI DSG. Now starts the waiting! I'm hopeful the dealer can trade the first one they got (white) but am waiting impatiently!
Didn't get mine yet.
Sales manager told me Friday via email: "I wanted to keep you updated and let you know I was allocated 2 GolfWagen's. Unfortunately your car was not one of them. Apparently no Manual transmission in the first allocation. However I will keep you updated on progress and as more cars arrive at port they will be assigned to Sold orders first!!" I put a deposit down and told it’s considered a “sold” car.
Me: "Hopefully we’ll see one show up at port. I assume when the factory starts accepting orders and we haven’t found one at port, it will be built?"
Sales manager: "That is correct if a car does not show up at port once the factory opens for orders your vehicle will be built first on the line."

This morning my wife and I factory ordered a 2015 Sportwagen. (TDI with a manual 6 speed with "Sight and Sound", "Convenience" and "Navigation" packages on the Comfortline Trim (Canada)).
The MKIV Jetta sedans were made in Mexico. At that time, there was no substantial difference between the quality in the three (Golf / Jetta / Jetta Wagon). They were just different body shapes of the same car.
The place they were assembled has no bearing on the fit & finish. It's all about what they decided to do for parts and construction of them.
The Jetta has been taken WAY downhill from the Golf, at least in Canada.

We have a Mk V Golf wagon (2013, wife's) and a Mk VI Golf hatch (2011, mine). The wagon was assembled in Mexico, the hatch in Germany.
The fit-and-finish is actually BETTER on the Mexican wagon than the German hatch. The wagon only has 46k km, the hatch has 130k km. But the wagon has had FAR fewer problems in those 46k km than the hatch did at the same point in its life.
Of course that's just anecdotal evidence, one data point does not a trend make, but it would tend to confirm that indeed assembly location makes little difference.
On the current Jetta, yes it was way dumbed down compared to the Golf, but the content level has been creeping back up (independent rear suspension and rear disc brakes across the model lineup now, for instance).
My nephew works @ BMW in SC on the assembly line . He checked my JSW out & said it was better or equal to the BMW's. All fits were 2mm or less which is what BMW strives for.
He also told me some funny stories about leather wrapped 2X4's .
This is my 2nd from Mexico. No squeaks rattles or wind noise.

Just confirming this is US pricing right? Anyone know if Canadian pricing is the same plus the exchange of how does this work?Dealer Invoice pricing sheet:
Anybody have any Canadian costs or what kind of pricing is being negotiated on GSW right now? Thanks!

From what I saw on VW.ca, the base price (Trendline manual) is the same as the base price for the S automatic in the US that is $22495 CDN. So an $1100 difference. Given the state of the Canadian $ these days, that doesn't seem so bad.
If the Trendline TSI has the same level of kit as the hatchback ($400 option for cruise control), a Trendline TSI + Cruise option seems like a great deal for someone like me who does 18k km a year now. If I got one, I'd just have to hope my wife doesn't try to put diesel in it
But that's a few years down the pike at the moment.

Even today I don't think you can "Build and Price" a 2015 Sportwagon. on VW.ca and so it seemed a bit odd that we did purchase one yesterday. (I do have the MSRP sheet for the trim lines and option packages of course in Canadian funds. What we did notice is that PDI went up over $200...maybe that is a reflection of the worsening Cdn $).
Cool! So you have it in your possession?
That sheet came from my dealer (US) when we placed the deposit and order on Feb. 25. You can see the date on it (2/13) so there may be an update since. I would imagine not much will change pricing-wise here in the US but who knows.

Nope. We could only put down a deposit for a factory order. The configuration we requested ie TDI with the manual in the mid level Trim package ("Comfortline" up here) + all 3 available option packages isn't a common one so we will have to wait....I am hoping I will see it by June 1st..mid June at the latest?

Good for you 'nutty'. I have a question for you if you dont mind. I see you purchased the Monster Mat kit. I declined this as I want to get the Weathertech mats. But on the Weathertech website for 2015 Golf it doesn't show the 2015 Wagon. Are the front two rows identical for all the 2015 TDI Golfs?
I usually don't go for the monster mat's but by hardcore VW family all recommended them over the Weathertech which I usually would be getting.
Not really sure but would "assume" so. They likely don't show the GSW's yet since they haven't had them in their possession to test yet.

Outstanding solid! When did you place the order so that you got the car so soon?!
What trim line? transmission? Options?

No kidding! I ordered mine through Chris on February 14th and I am still hearing that they don't know when it will arrive. TDI manual SEL white with black interior, mats, and lighting package.

Congrats jen and solid! Hopefully they'll start cranking them out. Seems that the DSG's are what we're seeing coming out the most right now but that's just a guess.

My highline w/media and 6 spa was supposed to arrive yesterday but didn't. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow
Trendline with DSG. I order it first week of February. It was the one the dealer preorder and had the option/color I was looking for.

Probably all speculation at this point, but anybody know if the MIB2 system could be installed aftermarket? I need a car by May, so I can't wait for the 2016 model, but it would be awesome if I could get that software technology... I don't need a bigger screen necessarily.

DSG is getting likelier
I have a 2006 and have been a manual trans fan since. However I test drove an MT 2015 Golf TDI. I felt that I was shifting too often and not accelerating enough for it. I tried the DSG and only one moment felt the turbo lag, which is a major reason I want MT. Otherwise the car is so over powered for my taste lag seems barely a factor. I also need to experiment more with paddle shifting. sport mode and all. DSG has better mpg. So manual, I doubt it. And I like the 16" wheels, so I'm thinking an S not SE or SEL, maybe an SEL with the 16"? And I'm thinking Jetta in 2016/7, not Golf. Also VW is making TDI crossovers soon. I may wait for that. The 06 is a rock at 200k, no hurries.
