I finally got my 2009 A5 on Monday. I ordered in Feb 2008. After Audi changed my order to an '09 and jerked me around for many months, the prize finally arrived. What a feeling! My dealer said it's the first '09 in the Chicagoland area. The car arrived two business days after Audi sluggishly released pricing.
I went with the premium package, technology package (which now includes the audi side assist in the '09 model), Milano leather seats in Cinnamon Brown, Meteor Grey Pearl exterior and of course the Bang &amp; Olufsen.

It's got so many gadgets inside. I really did not realize the extent of the customizability of the features using the MMI. It's amazing how personalized you can make the car. I want to get the tinted windows but I'm scared of the issue with the electronics.
I had problems figuring out how to upload all the pixs in one thread so I had to spread them out in the other threads on this post. So make sure to check the other threads under this post. Those are different pixs of the car.
I hope you like them.
And I hope your car comes soon!

Default Interior pix

I was a little worried about ordering the Cinnamon Brown interior because I hadn't seen it but I think it looks absolutely beautiful. It adds a rich, classy and unique color to the interior. I highly recommend the brown interior to anyone that's considering it. It looks great in person.

I think you do have the first 09, having checked around last week. Enjoy.

Well, given that I don't have the Sline, my experience is limited in comparing the two.
I can tell you about the A5 that I have. Is it worth the wait and money? ABSOLUTELY!!! It's everything it's hyped up to be, so far. I'm not sure what the difference is in the exterior look of the car.
Mine does not have the bucket seats. I'm a tall guy and I found them too uncomfortable for everyday use for me. That's why I didn't get them.
My steering wheel does not have the paddle shifters.
I'm extremely happy with my choice. The wait was aggravating but it's all good now.
