Agreed. The pano roof opens up the cockpit nicely, and made it possible for me to opt for the coupe over the convertible.

10 days to cross the Atlantic, that seems very fast. Is this. A 16? Mine was one of the first built, I'd be very surprised if you took delivery two weeks before me.

10-12 days is a good average for an Atlantic crossing. The auto carriers cruise at about 14kts. (16 mph) under normal sea conditions, and it's about 3300 miles, so about 206 hrs at cruise speed. They do have to slow down in rough seas, are crawling as they are approaching harbors, and sometimes have to stop and wait in cue to dock.

My dealer hasn't even been permitted to enter his first MT allocation into the ordering system yet, so all bets are off regarding timing.

Yes it is a '16. Ordered sometime around Thanksgiving. I tried to order a '15 but apparently JLR was not accepting new orders.
After checking W&W tracking for several days, my car finally showed up on Monday as being booked in Southampton, received in Liverpool and then assigned to the vessel Atlantic Conveyor. Unusual ship as it is both a container ship and a limited auto transport.
The big question now will be if it gets held at VPC. I believe this will be one of the first shipments of the '16 and I hope all paperwork, pricing, customs...etc. is in order so it can be released to the dealer in a timely fashion.

The dealer might have thought he was placing orders for '15's, but I'm willing to bet that they were actually '16's in allocation. To my knowledge the factory stopped excepting new orders sometime in the later part of Nov. or early Dec.

• Go to “track and trace” cargo section on the homepage.
• Enter the VIN in the “Cargo ID” field of the form
• Hit “Track”
• Status will be displayed once Wallenius has taken taken possession of the car and selected it for shipment.
• You will then know the ships name.
• If “no records are available” is displayed, Wallenius Wilhelmsen does not yet have your car in their possession, your car is not being
transported by their fleet, or the tracking system is lagging behind actual status – which is quite common.

Now of course they could have a port hold on these cars, which could delay delivery. This is quite common if they need to flash software or retrofit vehicles with last minute parts.
