Does a production date mean when a vehicle was built or does it mean when the production of the vehicle started?

More or less how long does it take from when a vehicle is produced to when it arrives at the dealership?

In Production is kind of up for debate. I think my car has shown "In Production" for well over a month. I would not get my hopes up. I ordered my car on 11/4/2011. Smart money at the office is betting on dates around March 15th for delivery.

Well now my car shows "Production Stock next update 03/02/2012".. I am starting to wonder if they will ever build the car. According to the dealership it has been in production for almost 2 months. Anyone know what this means? My guess is that it means it is scheduled for production on 3/2 or maybe it will be finished on 3/2. Worse yet it could mean nothing and on 3/2 they come back and say Production Stock Next update 3/17/2012.

I really have no idea what is going on. At this point the only thing I have going for me is that I know the car was actually ordered.

Put my downpayment and placed my order on December 23 for an SEL TDI at $200 below MSRP and my dealer can't update me on anything. Decided to cancel and place order elsewhere. Should i hold out for 2013? I'm from Louisiana, anyone recommend a dealer within the surrounding states?
This is my first dealing with VW and sales staff and it hasn't been a pleasant one. It's a shame I have to go through these measures to buy a new vehicle.
