    Any delays with getting 2017 S3's?

    I overheard that there are delays with the 17's coming in and also issues with blue cars in particular?
    Everyone getting their cars on time or still on track with your ETA?
    Thanks for any replies,

    Yes Start of Production, I was told by an AoA distrubtion manager that it would still be here by the end of the year(no garantuee), we'll see. No idea why since they already use it on the R8

    Not sure if there's a price thread for 2017s, but is anyone getting discounts remotely similar to '16s?

    I doubt it with the updates (specifically virtual cockpit) to the car for 2017 and the MSRP barely went up. Maybe in 6 months or so?

    Yes, I heard the same thing about week 45 start. I was told by my local sales manager who spoke to distribution, that the ARA blue cars will not be here until February :( I hope your info is correct and not mine. And this was an order from the dealer almost 2 months ago when the 17's were ready to order by the dealer, not a "fresh" order. We will see right?

    I saw the Navara blue listed above (reminds me of Santorin on my RIP B5 S4) but I'm going to hold out for the Ara blue I ordered... hope it's worth the wait :)

    I just got an email stating my custom order, ARA Blue S3 is done and on it's way to Emden Germany to be loaded on a ship.
    The Bad news (I guess)...I just bought a new M3 2 nights ago so I won't be able to get this one. I knew this would happen right after I got the M3. Sticker on the S3 I built is $53,875 and it will be at Audi San Diego in a few weeks probably.
    Love the M3 though but feel like I cheated on the Audi I won't be getting LOL. I've owned a B5 S4 since 2001 and still have a 2002 B5 S4 and a 1997 A4 Lemons race car. Leaning towards selling the S4 but it will be tough.
