IMPORTANT NOTE*

All data published on this website is based on voluntary submissions and reports from Cup Edition Millennium owners, VW employees, employees of the UAE importers, and information from the pilot departments in Wolfsburg and Puebla!

Unfortunately, all this collected data can only be provided here as "unofficial information" because VW has not released any official information about these cars till date and has not even responded to written inquiries from its UAE Importers and the Middle East Support group.
According to them, even Puebla refused to answer their questions :(
