VW is facing 'serious shortages' of new car stocks as some models are selling above expectations.
This is bad news for anyone thinking about buying a new up! or Golf -- the waiting list for these models is in excess of two months. Stocks of VW's large family car, the Passat, are also running low although VW is now producing an extra supply for the UK market.
VW admits that it underestimated the demand for some of its models.
It's not difficult to see why the up! and the Golf are selling out -- after all they are both excellent cars. However, VW's incompetence rather undermines the company's reputation for ruthless Teutonic efficiency.
If you're hankering after a new up! or Golf, there is good news -- production of right-hand-drive models will increase in September.
