  1. Ordered 9/15/21, built around New Years, spent a month on the dock at Valencia waiting for a ship, then another month getting shuttled around at least three Chicago rail yards. Finally delivered 4/15/22.
  2. I'm currently trying to wear out my 4th and 5th VW Golf diesels, so I don't think the VW platform is necessarily a bad thing. But the Caddy appears to be. amore car oriented design so I think we're going to lose some of the current TC's truckliness. Drivetrain wise, the current TC's 26 MPG EPA Combined is damn good for a gas engined van, VW's 1.8 liter gas engine can barely equal that in the smaller Golf Alltrack wagon, the other possibility for the U.S. is VW's 1.5 liter gasser which gets decent MPG but is probably a tad underpowered for a van. We might get the option of All Wheel Drive in the deal though. I've been following the TC for a couple years now, was tempted to get one when VW bought back my 2013 TDI but I lucked out and found a NOS 2015 TDI to replace it. Been shopping TDIs again but street prices are rising again so few good deals now. I'm going to wait for a good deal, failing that unless the next generation is a big improvement I'll order one before the order banks close.
