Apparently Jaguar's offices are closed today, Monday and Tuesday for the "holiday". Still no information on anything, and I simply don't understand why others vehicles are arriving at dealerships and mine is just lost.

My dealer said vehicles arriving without warning such as they did for Micks41 never happens for them. So i don't expect to see my vehicle next week.

 

Maybe it was "stohlen"... ba-dum-bump!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

Confirmation photos.

 

Congrats, it's beautiful. What color is that? It almost looks like it has a dark bronze tint, but that could be a camera/lighting artifact.

It also looks like the car knows the the right thing to do. It wants to go southeast out of Ohio.

 

I'm willing to bet that's Stratus Grey.

Congratulations!

 

awesome. congrats

 

Great color choice! Congrats!

 

Correct, it's stratus gray. Although the bronze does look appealing!

I'll try and snap better pics once I get it home.

 

Congrats!

My waiting game has just started, but I am curious to know what you guys are using for tracking. Does the dealer email you with the VIN and info on tracking?

I ordered Stratus Grey as well and I am pumped to see your pic! I wanted a very dark grey and your pic is what I was hoping for. When I ordered the dealer mentioned that after sometime in April you can't order Stratus Grey any longer and the Storm Grey seems to have taken its place though I am guessing its an actual color change and not just a name change.

 

Generally, one has to bug the dealer for info.
Steps are:
1) Order accepted into production system with a specific build week.
2) Once frame is on the line during build week, a VIN will be available.
3) After car is finished at factory, there are trains twice a week that take it to
Southampton where it will be loaded onto a ship. Can sit for a week waiting for next ship -- see next step.
4) Looking at the Wallenius Web site and based on when the car might have made it to the port and your dealer's location, you can figure
out what ships may possibly be used. Your VIN usually shows up on the WW Web site a day or two after leaving Southampton. That gives you a port arrival date.
5) Time for the last leg really varies, especially if there is a hold for SW updates or some recall.

 

It would be great if you could also shoot a video of the new navigation/infotainment system.

Also could you let me if the new concierge/assist hotline can program your navigation destination for you?

 

Makes me that much more appreciative that I found exactly what I wanted - albiet with a few more options than I intended (but now glad I have) - ON my local dealers lot.

Veni, vidi, vici.

Good luck to all those waiting!

 

Jay, it's less an issue of luck and more one of agonizing patience. I finally got a call from the dealer that my order has been confirmed in the system and I need to come in to verify the options. Hopefully they have a build date to share with me.

 

I think you mean: Veni, vidi, vroooom.
I came, I saw, I bought a Jaaaag.

 

Excellent!!!

 

I think you're right!

 

I could never go through long unknown wait. When I get the itch it is not a matter of if but when,usually within 60 days!

 

Sorry guys, I was in Ireland for a few weeks and wasn't following along here. Did anyone who posted in this thread and had placed an order for a 2016 year receive theirs yet?

 

I believe Micks41 took delivery of his car on Saturday. According to my dealer's contacts, there have only been 12 AWD vehicles released. The next set of vehicles is scheduled to be released sometime next week, of which my vehicle is a part of.
