But I followed TB's advice and indeed ordered a smaller engine car...

I must say, good taste in the S5 Sportback.

2 questions: Does your car have red interior or not. The first picture shows black seats and 2nd picture shows red. Or is it just the glare?
and what do you mean by "Only available in Canada (S5)?"

2019. Also waiting for Audi to release the cars as they have a lot of 2018. The particular car arrived at Halifax in October and is now at Montreal, so I was told max January.

Wanna bet? My car is supposed to be transferred at my dealer tomorrow. It is a Progressiv with metallic paint, black optic and red calipers. $3190 of options that I would gladly change to $1900 Sport differential and $500 virtual cockpit, if I was willing to wait 3-4 months.

Well, then...nevermind. Congrats.

Status as of today is that my order is still in Halifax.

I purchased the Technik pack a la white, red seats, red calipers, driver assist, heads-up display, and that carbon interior trim. And I guess winter wheels too from Audi. Well, I do have the wheels. That's all I have to show for the car.

Last Saturday, my car status showed it as being also at Halifax but the sales director knew differently; yours might come quicker than you think. I forgot to mention the carbon interior trim in my options. I also got a set of 18" gunmetal Replika R199 with Michelin Alpin PA4 that look close to the standard 19" Cavo.

Well, I'm not holding my breath. I fully expect to pick it up in the middle of a snowstorm.


I bought the 5-arm ramus wheels (black) with the dealership issued Continentals. So, once the car arrives, I'll be called in and they'll swap out the stocks for the winter ones I purchased. Anyways, hope you get yours tomorrow...And with that, we should probably take this segue into another thread. Again, congrats.

Yeah, but he had the audacity to get his S5 before me. And we can't have that.

Saintor got an Audi. Well, I feel as though I should take the high road and congratulate him on his new purchase. Good for him.

Whatever the differences are, I like Saintor's car more than Yumcha's.

I haven't even seen Yumcha's car yet, if it even exists. But Saintor's is very obviously superior.

Mine were shallow, if honest statements. Wishing a paper cut on somebody though... too far. Too far.

Speaking of Christmas...
