So Who Has Ordered A VF / Gen F?

[GTS LSA]

"So any of the future GTS owners close to picking theirs up ? "

Is it correct that the first GTS' come off the line at the end of this month? I ordered a GTS around the 20th June and was advised delivery some time in November.

Mine was mid July order, Nov delivery... Hope there are no delays... Will see......waiting.......waiting.....still waiting

Hi guys,

I have taken delivery of my Gen F R8 SV Enhanced today.
What a machine and I love the EDI.

They can't build Vf's fast enough I got told roughly 3 month wait for my SSV Redline, I read somewhere that V8's are making up around 50% of all sales so far, So it's not just a Cruze thing. Also they dropped production from 400 cars a day to around 300-320 I think they said on news a week or two ago.

Hey Shane,

I had the same bullshit with the black rims. Its a joke!

Think you might be waiting a little longer than 4 weeks. I ordered mine a month ago and have been given a date of 24/09

You are right, They rang back saying 1 week as they had one in a country dealership and were going to bring it down to my dealership in Berwick. 2 days later my dealer rings me back saying they just found out from other dealer that it had been in a bingle previously in the back end and it was repaired, Dealer said look you are paying for a new car so I wouldn't get that one. Glad he was honest, Could of sold me it and said nothing. So now I am told they have placed an order to build one and it will be anywhere up to 3 months but will try push for one sooner! Rather not have anything rushed anyway, Always goes bad.
And yeah it's very disappointing on the rims, Quite a few people are after black rims on dark coloured VF's! Seen a few on youtube now with aftermarket black rims and it looks better in my opinion.
Don't really want to powder coat the chrome ones as they scratch easy, So now the pain of researching a good after market set that will fit brembo brakes, retain same size/profile so I don't have to recalibrate speedo, staggered and preferably black.
Ohh well better late than never I guess, Give me a bit more time to save and decide on a few mods.

Ordered a black VF Redline ute today. Part of the contract is that they will supply the black wheels with it. They said they couldn't option it as part of the build, but they would swap them from another Redline they had in stock. So those who have been whining about not being able to get them, it seems the dealers either weren't worried about losing the sales, or simply couldn't be stuffed about making the customer happy.

I'm a little baffled at Holden's decision to not allow the two top of the range vehicles to be not spec'd to a customers requirement (CalaisV & Redline SSV). Having seen an SSV at a local dealership in the exact colour range I wanted, I decided to put $$ on a Redline but was told I can't option up black on black interior, the only option was black with black AND light titanium finish - ridiculous!

can't pick black rims, can't pick black interior - either the dealer wasn't interested (unlikely) but surely Holden allow a vehicle to come in the desired colour???

very disappointed

My salesman showed me the build options and the black on black interior was a selectable item. I would've preferred that option too but his manager was there with us and told him that it wasn't an option. Yet he was more than happy to switch wheels for me. Seems either their system has a glitch that allows the interior to be changed for a build, or it's something they don't want to offer.

Been saying this the whole time!

I was told that by 2 dealers IF they have one in stock, But the thing is then they try and sell the other car that has chrome on it when it should have black and when Holden finds out dealer will be in strife. I would be making sure you do get it and they won't do dodgy at last minute saying sorry we couldn't do it.

Redline ute ordered. Due for delivery soon I am told

I made sure it's in writing as a condition of the contract. What happens between the dealership and Holden after I've taken delivery isn't my problem.

Thank you for that, I may see if I can arrange something also as I have a few months wait. I don't mind paying a bit extra if I had to but it is pretty ridiculous for them not to offer it in the first place.
Also would have preferred black interior on Redline rather than the beige/cream that suits Calais, You spend 60k or so you at least want a few little options to make it your ride.

Wheels magazine mentioned an optional wheel(s) that aren't ready yet. Not sure when.
