Week 10 here also and have resigned myself to July/august. Although I do read that they expect production to begin again in 3-4 weeks. Hopefully starting with original week 9/10 builds.

https://www.ft.com/content/1d0522d0-5bb2-4c49-8978-6fb99fec7e24 Based on this (I know it is VW but the supply chains are the same) it seems that looms are still being produced but at a lower than normal rate

Interested to see how long it takes to get here. I read on Boards that people have ID4s sitting in Emdem 6 weeks now. Hoping less Skodas are queued.

My order is in since December, build week was meant to be 10... So I had emailed to see if any week was assigned now with the recent shut down. Dealer said it is now set to week 11... I expect this will just keep getting pushed back a week at a time. He mentioned as a by the way that they have been told not to accept any further orders for this year. I guess if we ever get our cars, chances are they will be worth more than we paid immediately.

Skoda dealer here in Ireland said they are no longer accepting orders before 2023 now

Seems unlikely with the news yesterday that production will be reduced this week 😕

Hopefully (for me) the 6-7 week shut down in Nov/Dec led to your initial 6 week delay. I was fine with a July delivery until I heard a build week had been assigned already.

Will adjust my expectations also. Had you many extras on your order?

In general the Superb is better in every way possible The Mazda on paper is nice.. but it was executed poorly IMO. It felt light and cheap. Road noise was bad, suspension and ride was rough and knocky. It had a Bose sound system.. the non canton system in my Superb now sounds so much better, maybe because the cabin doesn't sound like I am driving on the motorway with the windows down. I cannot think of one thing that I could list that I miss on the Mazda or that it did better than the Superb. In the last 8yrs I have owned an e60 5 series, Passat, c7 A6 and the Mazda 6.... The Superb blows them all away, I really love it.

I saw the new 9" in a facelift Octavia during the week... I really don't like it

Business 'boring' grey Really enjoying it so far... you must have yours run in by now... I am resisting the urgent to redline mine, getting out each day for a drive to rack up the miles.

Yes, needed to do this... thanks

If you press and hold the ESC button for ~10 seconds it switches to sport mode also. Does anyone know if it is possible to display oil temperature? Haven't found it in any of the menus.

Picked up my Sportline 280 yesterday. It replaced a 2016 Mazda 6 2.2 Platinum (UK spec Sport). Initial reactions are... very smooth, quiet and comfortable.
