    audi production plan - leaked

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    this document is for audi internal use only. production dates are for European Union only, so it might be slightly postponed for the US market I guess. (the first date means production, the second one is actual sale)

    Wow... the RS5 won't even begin production until May 2010 with sale date anticipated for July 2010... and that's the European version! With the US dollar the way it is currently, we probably shouldn't expect the RS5 until at least Sept or Oct 2010 and it will be in such limited production with an exceedingly higher sticker price than the current S5 out now. Also, with newer, more stringent fuel economy rules dictating what we can and can't drive, I can't imagine the Audi bringing too many of those cars past the US EPA.

    I think I'll just enjoy my S5 now! Woohoo!!

    ^^^^ actually the european enironmental standards are much more strick than ours. I would consider that in itself to much of a factor. A worthless dollar, thats what will ruin oour chances.

    Can u please post the whole text here? I can not see/get the file, for some reason they won't let me sign up(my verification letters don't match ever with whatever is on the screen!!!!). Even if it's not formated, just post the whole thing here, I'll figure it out.

    Thx!

    you don't have to sing up there, just click the link and download that .xls file. and yes,our environmental standards are more strict, you don't have to worry about that. the problem could be falling US Dollar which could increase price for the US market. however, I think that audi uses some kind of dumping prices in your market because already S5 is about1/3 cheaper in your country than here.

    Nice to know they're keeping the 4.2 in the D4 A8.

    More like your government has a massive fucking sales tax especially on luxury cars.

    it's not just our f... government, the price is almost the same all over Europe. unfortunately, they won't keep 4.2 in S5 convertible ( btw. I like Dj Tiesto! )

    Re: audi production plan - leaked

    Anybody have any idea what the AU316 model is?

    Can't wait to see the R8 Spyder 5.2L V10.
    Or the S7 Sportback w/the 4.0L V8 Biturbo!
    Or the S5 Sportback!
    Or the S5 Cabriolet!
    Or the A1! (too bad no RWD A1)
