Default Car arrived at dealer this AM, but still no announced lease programs--Very frustrating.

I imagine the lease program will be released on Monday, October 15th---Just my guess. Funny how the timing seems to jive with what my dealer originally hinted at back in August: that AoA might hold the '08s until mid-October. So the slow port release/transport to dealers, coupled with delayed lease program equates to the same effect as a port hold, IMHO.

Happy car has arrived, but I suppose the best I can do this weekend is just pay it a visit.

Uptown problems ;^)

Default Hmmmm. If your car made it to Southhampton from Rhode Island, I would have thought mine ...

...would have made it to Parsippany, NJ !!! Unless they put it on a BOAT!

I still haven't heard. As of yesterday, it had not arrived.

Default I'll bet your car arrives today or tomorrow. I'll also bet this coincides with a release of the...

...AFS A8 programs that I'm guessing will be announced sometime between today and Monday.

Default Looks like you're right. Dealer just informed me that my car is on the carrier enroute....

could be at the dealership today or tomorrow. I think we should suggest that Audi put GPS on our cars from now on so that we can track them ourselves!!!

Default Heh, heh...Actually, they do have GPS for the nav ;^) Looks like you'll pick-up your car...

...before I do. I'm only near my dealer on weekends, so delivery should be a week from Saturday---IF the lease programs come out!!!

Default Unless this carrier drives 20 mph (and I've never seen any do that!)...

I hope to be driving my car home sometime on Saturday Oct 13.
