I just got an email from my dealer who has informed me that he is expecting my GTS Auto to arrive in May - Not March like I was originally told.

Late November - May Arrival = 6 month wait. which seems about spot on what others have been experiencing.

I guess it gives me more time to save, which means less of a loan I will need to take.

Got mine!

Love it . Worth the wait guys. Hang in there.

My only gripe is trying to work out the clutch. It is stupidly light. Its a little tricky on hill starts at the moment as I just cant feel the friction point. I am used to an a lot harder clutch. I'll get used to it.

Easy fix!! Drive on flat ground!! Least not as bad as a guy on 'Club Roadster' asking for ONLINE lessons on how to drive a 'stick shift' [manual] and some fool trying to explain 'rev matching' - like, as if!!!

Will find that out in about 5 weeks!! No hills near my place but from the Dealership to my place it's up-down-up-down-up-down hahaha, remember that when I picked up the Corolla Levin, clutch felt stupid and I kept stalling!

Mine too!
But somehow my ETA has been pushed back a day to Jan 8th.
I wonder why.
Was thinking we may get in early.
LOL

Mine got pushed back a day too - to the 13th. But hopefully it's just a re-estimation, and the dealer is still getting it on the 3rd and I will still have it early the next week.
