...and to continue with the tradition of responding to my own posts, I think I figured it out.

In the us, the B8 A4 will be a 2009 model. Which means only 2 years worth of B7 in the states (collector's items?)

Anyway, this just looks drop-dead sexy:

I'll probably trade up for one of those in a couple of years.

 

Nice...how long does it take to get the car?

 

The 09 looks great!! the 08 looks exactly the same as the 07 but the exterior s-line package is stock on the 08. I orderd mine in quartz grey and it takes 10-12 weeks to arrive so mine should be here beggining of august. Cant wait!!

 

Hey Kyle, I'm in the process of ordering an '08 S4...did you get a good deal when you ordered? I'm trying to get my S4 for $500 over invoice. Did you do much negotiating for your order? Also, it's the beginning of August, did it come in?

 

ahhh, a fine choice. what color?

 

He said it was quartz grey. Awesome car, I still have an 06 audi with a warrenty and i'm wondering if the Forge splitter will void it.

 

Yeah, the 08 is still B7 platform.

The 09 B8 looks awesome, and they moved the engine back behind the front axle some, so it should handle tons better than any current B5,6,7 platform.
When I autocrossed mine, the heavy front end of the audi reared its uglyhead big time. Maybe by thenI can afford a new one!!!

 

channad

hi, no its arriveing end of sept now! ah well.
and i got mine for $300 over invoice. make sure you dot pay anything for the order because one garage tried chargeing me $5000 just to order the car for me!! i didnt pay a penny 4 my order! mine was mwnt to be around 42,000 but got it for 38,900.

great choice of car by the way!! that would of been my first choice if i could of afforded it!!

 

ordering an 08 takes around 10-12 weeks
