[JavikoA4]

Spoke to my audi dealer and they said the S4 A5/S5 sedan/sportback will all be in sometime in April/May.

WOW - I feel like US is always super late to the party on most newer models (Not to mention keeping all the 'great' versions overseas...i.e. RS6 AVANT).

I thought def in the next month or two - thats a complete bummer if that is honestly another 8 months or so at least wait time...

I have had my b8.5 for close to 3 years (one of longest cars I've ever owned) - and love it so much I'm def interested to see what the replacement will be like. Not a single hick-up in that entire time. Truly an impressive machine all around.

I had the b9 A4 loaner and was REALLY impressed with overall ergonomics, digital display, suspension/composition of ride and the torque/capability around town and freeway. Truly outstanding in its own way. I hope the S4 only builds on all that.

Keep tossing the idea of going up a size in car to RS7, M6 Gran Coupe, etc of the likes --- but something about the 4's proportions I really enjoy.

It wont be worth it in 8 months. I think the S5 sportback is so post to come right?

Yes S5 sportback is supposed to come around the same time. Might as well wait for that if it'll take 8 months also.

Also its pretty strange that Canada has it before it is up on the European website. I was sure that they would have it before North America.

Not worth it? Please see my tagline :)

[name.goes.here]

Look at the delay for US release as allowing exrtra time for Audi to iron out and glitches in the B9.....

[photographer143]

Just called another dealer in Manhattan this morning and they said we can begin ordering them in January.

[dbuxton13]

Order Jan, arrive Apr?

Realistically, they will need 3-4 years to do that.

The sport back will have the ugly s5 front end and hood!

[A4 Centaur]

^You watch, they will have to fix that design failure of a hood. Seriously ugly hood.

I just did a quick Google search for some images - what's ugly about the hood - I'm not saying I like it or don't , just not sure what I'm missing...??

[dbuxton13]

Now Google Ford Fusion and compare side to side with new A5. It's the all-new... Audi Fusion. If you don't think the hood is hideous, then congrats you somehow fit their target group and now you *must* buy one.

It is strange, but I 100% rather wait for a new model that has never been in the U.S before rather then just another S4.

LOL

The .5 will have the kinks worked out, .5's are always better looking also.

That hood will not last, worst case you have a body shop make a new hood LMAO

+1 for heated steering wheel
-1 for flat bottom steering wheel delete
+1 audi virtual cockpit
- 1 for digital gauges
+1 for diamond weave seats
- 1 for turbo over sc (I'm guessing here comparing to other turbos)

+1 to all those things, especially turbo, but also digital gauges (jet aircraft have had them for two decades, welcome to the 90s, cars), except for the heated steering wheel taking away the flat bottom what's that all about.

Are you sure it's not just the rendering? I doubt it i will be that pronounced in person

AHHHHHH.... *THIS* hood!!! Dam Google didn't return the initial results I was looking for! If you're speaking of this hood......well, then yes you are very correct! Extremely ugly and looks like the side of the hood acts as the top of the fenders too. Yeah, it really is horrific, please re-do Audi!

Wow that is forever away!

Wonder how many years they will need to work out all the bugs in the new car as well...

Gonna try out a m3, m6 or panamera in the meantime then

My lease is up at the end of December. Do I get a new B9 S4 OR do I get a 1 - 2 year lease and wait to see of a B9 RS4 sedan or RS5 sportback comes out? My sister's lease on her TTRS was up in August so she got an 18 month lease on a base A3 becuase she wants to wait for the RS3.

Can you extend the lease? It doesn't appear that the B9 S4 is an option unless you can wait a few months between the end of your lease and the S4's release.

Yes, I can extend the lease for up to 12 months. However, I'm still paying the same monthly fee. They don't take into consideration that the car is worth less and I've paid the full deprecation for 4 years. I'd rather just do a cheap lease take over for 12 - 24 months like my sister did which is probably what I'll do.

Dealer just called me this afternoon and said order books for S4 are going to hit next month.

I saw the new B9 S4 the other day in Edgewater, NJ. It said "manufacturer" on the bottom of the license plate so I'm assuming it's some sort of a test car. It definitely looked sharp in the black paint. Unfortunately didn't get to see the front of it.
