Congratulations! I ordered my S5 in November, and it is due to arrive some time in April. The wait times have grown exponentially since then, so I believe your dealer is being honest with you (sorry). My car is Deep Sea Blue on tuscan with all the electronic gadgetry except side assist (not available at the time I ordered and not really desired anyway). Keep us up to date on when it is expected to arrive!

 

Wait times for the A5 are not nearly as long as for the S5.

 

Me too. Phantom Black I think...

I am coming from a large model, A8 to be exact. What will I miss?

I'm worried. :-)

 

I got quotes for the S5 and A5. I am leaning toward the S5 more and more. I did have some questions though. How comfy are the front seats in the S5? How does the engine sound? Any cabin noise? Gas cost and insurance are very close between the A5 and S5. I would put in the bit of extra cash to drive an S5 around. The Audis are awesome

 

sell me your rims!

 

I think the seats are very very adjustable in the S5 makin it comfy for just about anyone, and that V8 is one of the best sounding engines ive heard, youtube s5 exhaust note you'll probably find something good, and im sure the car has great sound insulation as well when you need some quite

I was at audi escondido today and talking to the sales manager about these S5's

they all got pulled back due to a problem with something (not mentioned) with manual transmissions. thats why they are taking a long time to get spread around.

what transmission are you getting?

 

I got a g35 coupe. got 1 ad a half years to go on the lease. I will propably order one this november. The car is AMAZIG!!!!!!! Congrats.... and yeah, i spoke to the dealer yesterday. In WA its up to a year, and the reason is because it is a limited production car. As far as i know there are only 2,500 produced this year, worldwide. Congrats!!!!
