Due to the ECU not being available for installation due to the Japanese earthquake. HTH

According to Autocar the car was only launched at Geneva March 2011 ie after your build slot so how come you've waited til three months after your alleged build slot to wonder where your car is ?

Eh?

They were taking orders many months before Geneva. I put mine in last November, and the car was supposed to be first customer car in Switzerland, for June/July but we never could get firm dates. I guess this is what happened to the OP. Why the doubts?

The first customer cars usually land 3 months after the dealers get the demo's. The dealers havent got their demo's. My guess is Jan for the first ones

My first Customer car is late September build.

When I was there at the end of May the cars were not in production mode.

i was there on may 30th, and got the impression that the ten cars on the line were in series production

[Magic919]

I was there on the 26th and they weren't at that time. Just pre-production phase.

well spotted Jonny.........top of the class........so i made a typo..........good to see the spelling police are out in force.

So has any dealer or customer been informed of any set backs in production.

[johnnyreggae]

There are fantasists on here as well as people who have been scammed and the way your post initially read was highly suggestive of one or other so no its not the 'spelling police' its just clarification

This and the fact someone who can afford such a car should be able to read...

OP: Your question was answered straight away, why are you asking again?

Nutter, how can it be a scam......asking about a delay. As far as a typo.....could not give a .......

[bertie]

If they are trying to use electronic component availablilty as the reason I'm afraid that's just an excuse.

The sort of quantities they are talking are so small parts are available from various sources in such low volumes.

Don't see why people are giving the OP such a hard time, he only asked an innocent question.
