Unfortunatly, we do not have an exact release date.<p>If we can help in any other way, please write again.<p>Sincerely,<p>Jerry<br>AudiTalk<p>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How sad.

Good 'ol AoA - full of useful info as always. You've got to wonder if they actually talk to Audi GMBH or just wing it!

I'm working with a dealer in Houston. I'm #2 on the list for and S4, but I really want the Tiptronic. The sales guy told me today that I would be able to order one in the 4th quarter (this supposedly from the regional rep) with a delivery date about 3 months later. Sounds like a year to me. Not sure if I should wait or not. I wonder if it's possible that I could dirve a 6 speed for a while and sell it, break even, stay on the list for a Tiptronic, and come out ahead? Ah, probably wishful thinking. I'll probably wait.
