Yep, I got the 3G.

The joystick function on the maps is pretty cool, makes it a lot easier for pointing and clicking on certain places. Also, here in Toronto, they have about 10 buildings in 3D imaging, and honestly I'm surprised about the detail on the buildings!

In addition the 2 SD slots are now under the DVD/CD player (but apparently no more 6 cd changer. But there is an adapter in the glove box for ipods or USB interface (mine came with the ipod interface). And the internal hard drive is cool, you can access it through the 'media' button and there is something called 'jukebox' under there...but I havn't uploaded anything yet.

As for pricing, well I negotiated back in April and they said this would be one of the first 2010 models and said it could be subject to a price increase in July. But they didn't mention any price increase on the 2010 model when I was picking it up...so I didn't ask So I paid what I had originally negotiated.

I dont know if you have any to try but if you do: can you play audio DVDs while driving with 5.1 sound? Or is it only video DVDs while stationary (and even then: does the B&O play the surround sound tracks? )

thanks!

I thought they will be switching to the 3.0 in MY10? Along with the S-tronic. Is this further down the line or not the case at all anymore?

The 2010 S5 Cab has the 3.0T and the S-Tronic. The S5 Coupe has the 4.2 until end of MY 2010, then goes to the 3.0T for MY 2011.

From what I was told this will be new for the mid 2010 models.
