How long did you wait for your Scirocco?

Hi, everybody, this is my first post here.
I am Portuguese and my written (and spoken) english is far from perfect, but I hope you understand.
I just got my Scirocco 1.4TSI DSG7 this week. It's the "Sport" version, which I think is roughly the same as the UK "GT" version. I'm delighted with it.
I had to wait for about 7 weeks to get the car delivered. I was lucky because some other guy had a reservation for the car and didn't want it anymore.
Here in Portugal the "waiting time" for the Scirocco is about 4 to 5 months.
This is really strange, as the Portuguese factory where all Sciroccos are made is working at only 60% of it's capacity.
The seller told me it's because of the portuguese "quota" for this vehicle - only a small, limited amount of Sciroccos are to be sold in Portugal.
My question is: how long did you have to wait for your Sccirocco to be delivered after reservation?

I ordered my car in September 08 and it was delivered Jan 09. It was delayed due to the Xenon's though, an extra 2 months or so.

I ordered mine on 27th March, and delivery to dealer is due on 25th June (then I will have to wait 7-10 days for delivery), so 12-13 weeks for me. I've ordered a 2.0 Tsi GT, can't wait

My wait was similar to the other guys here, ordered around 6th Jan and took delivery on 28th March. So just under 3 months.

Called the dealer again today to add Parking Sensors. Estimated build week 34 (same as 3 weeks ago).
I ordered on May 12, so 14 weeks to build, add 1 to 2 weeks for delivery = 15 to 16 weeks total.
To me it seems the UK has shorter delivery times that the rest of us (I'm from NL), but to be fair, it could also be my spec.
