It's good to see you guys actually have tracking details. I started this thread when I originally got mine (ordered in January, got details late March). But after dealer "inaccuracies", I had to change my order (that was in early May). It's now mid July and I still don't have them. I was told delivery would be in October, but I have no way of knowing if that is true.

Regards to the "inaccuracies". I was originally told when I ordered that they sent an order for my original car (white, manual GT) and a white, manual GTS. They did that so when the prices were released I could choose the correct one.

Come May, I met up with the salesman I was dealing with. I asked him about the other car to make sure it was on track. No he said, apparently the dealer ordered a grey GTS auto (not sure when they did that). Let me tell you, I was pissed. I then changed my order to the GTS manual, knowing I would be pushed back in line.

Then launch day came (Monday). Their grey auto arrived day one, my original car arrived two days after, I was told it had been sold a couple of weeks before launch (well before launch I told my salesman I wanted to test drive it as it was a manual, he was cool with that). I test drove their grey auto which arrived first, I said to my salesman I still want to drive the manual but only around the block so I could feel the clutch and shifter (both knowing it had been sold, he said that would be fine. He would be willing to stay back so I would have time after work and that he would let me know the day it gets there).

The next Saturday (23rd) I took my mate in to show him the grey auto. I walk in and there's my original car. I go up to my salesman and ask him why he didn't let me know as I wanted to drive it. No he said, it has been sold you wouldn't be able to drive it. Let me tell you, I was pissed.

A week ago. Went to ask why I haven't received any tracking details. Told him people who ordered on launch have already received them. He had no idea, so he asked the stock controller, she didn't know either. I was then told they would look in to it. Still waiting.

On another note. I did end up driving a manual at another dealer (a week after the above). The original sales woman I talked to said they had a white, manual GTS demonstrator that was able to be driven. You beauty I said, I will definitely come and drive that. Got told to go to one of their other offices at 10am, 20k's from their main one. Rock up, "oh I'm sorry" the man says, "It has just left for our main office, they have a test drive at 10am" ( -_- <-- was my face). Drove over there, turns out it was black. 30mins later got to drive. Pissing down with rain 40 zones everywhere, got to drive for about 2k's. Definitely not impressed with the whole thing.

The End.

Now here's a cute picture of a kitten:
