So it turns out it may not take 90 days. The dealer had a car a few weeks on order spec'd almost like I wanted. They were able to still change the color code. The vehicle had one additional option that I did not request nor need so they decided rather than go thru the hassle of starting a new order, they will just eat the cost of that additional option.
Thus I am probably looking at around 60 days instead of 90 days now

Well, from personal experience I say "no, Audi does not give gifts any longer". I purchased my new A6 Prestige in November and have recieved nothing from Audi, aside from a little booklet.

I looked at a bunch and seriously considered the
Audi A6
Infiniti G37Xs
Lexus GS F Sport
BMW 3 Series
Mercedes E-350 4matic Sports Coupe
Mercedes E-350 4matic Sports Sedan
In the end the Audi won me over.
The Mercedes E-350 - actually stopped there on a whim just to see what they had and was actually impressed with the car. Test drove two sedans and one coupe at different times. They handled better than I expected, had a very good engine, probably the most luxurious ride of the bunch, a very comfortable seat and nice interior.

Looked at the BMW 3 series XDrive but didn't want to wait for the wagon to start getting imported. And the 4 cylinder turbo seemed to suffer from too much lag.
I ended up canceling my MB order when the dealer learned they were going to be making a restyled model for 2014 which would have lowered resale value of the 2013 considerably.
Now I've ordered an S6 which should be in in a few weeks. Luxury, performance, and an empty bank account... but while I'm not too old to appreciate it.
