PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP, PREFERABLY THROUGH THIS THREAD SO I CAN GIVE THEM A BALLPARK # SOONER THAN LATER!

This is a multi-forum group buy so we should be able to get a decent deal on what, I think, is already a great deal! The unit retails for 153 EURO ($221 USD). I'm hopeful that we can get the # to below $200 w/free shipping w/enough people. Check out the links above for more info or let me know if you have any questions! I've spoken to a few people who already have the unit and they all LOVE IT! I was going to get it at retail, but figured I may as well get a few people on board and maybe save a few bucks in the process!!!

I'll get it started:

1.) ThePiombino
2.)
3.)
4.)
5.)

It is available for the Q7 as well. Unfortunately the group buy is over. You can contact them via their website and request they honor the price. Just tell them you were out of town and didn't have access to your PC at the time of the group buy. Reference "The Audi Forums" when you do it.
