I like Sepang blue better..that color's unique tho

[ExhaustNote]

Are you going Daytona Grey again? I'm really torn. I thought I had the balls to go Sepang, but seriously, I just think Daytona is the best color they make, except for the dark blue metallic exclusive color (forget the exact name, but its on the german site, looks like someone added a few blue drops to Daytona).

Also, are you just moving your HRE's to the new one? I really like the conical P43's but the price is laughable.

I was thinking sepang for a while but im now leaning back towards a low key, neutral color such as daytona or panther black. A matte gunmetal grey wrap is also in consideration. If you've never owned Daytona Grey, go for it. It is by far the best color car I've ever owned. It's so easy to take care of and has an unbelievable depth to it. The only reason I'm a tiny bit hesitant to go with it again is because I'm worried that the car will feel too similar to my current S55.
Anyways, the HRE's will go on initially but will most likely change the wheels after a few months. Been looking at some deep concave 3-piece ADV.1's.

I'd go with the sepang blue for sure!

All you have to do is call your local dealer and ask. Most will take deposits now to secure you a position. Keep in mind not all dealers will get one and most will only get 1 or 2 so I would suggest that you get a deposit in now, if you dont get a slot in the initial build then the wait will be 6-12 months, and with the way the S5 was when it came out, most likely closer to 12 months.

Thanks for that info. Stopped by the dealer today and I'm the only one on the waitlist for an S5 and didn't have to put down a deposit. The RS5 waitlist had 4 people already though (plus, it's out of my budget).

Dealer told me they weren't expecting RS5's until after the S5, around October, but I think everything is speculation at this point.

From my understanding, it will be delivering in Q3 which means sometime in July, August or Sept.

I was advised by my Audi rep that if I want an RS5 for myself then I should take the 1st allocation our dealer gets because we may not be able to get another one.

[FaceSmA5h]

GD any update on A5/S5 pricing with options? Still set for March? Last year it was March, so I hope its the same.

[gd10]

no pricing info yet. expect it around the time of the new york auto show which is scheduled for beginning of april.. they will be priced very close to the 2012 models.

Off Topic: I think the S4 is priced perfectly against a 335i Sedan, will Audi ever do something crazy and price their car closer to the 335i Coupe? Say start the S5 at $50k instead of $52.5.

thats not going to happen...the S5 manual starts at $56,075 now(including destination and gas guzzler)

Audi can careless about bmw's pricing.. they know the S5 is a better car.

The starting price MAY drop this year depending on whether the S5 manual will have a gas guzzler tax.

[gd10]

I'm assuming No Gas Guzzler Tax because it should fetch the same MPG as the S4....Around 18/27.

I guess its sticking with the same MSRP just no gas guzzler tax for the manual.
