Default I want the equivalent of a Versace Murcielago, but in an S5!

Just kidding, I simply loathe *bling,* but I thought the mustang or a nice saddle brown would've made for a great interior in a luxo-GT type of car, especially with complimentary wood trims and a tasteful splash of metal... mmm-hmmm.

Having said that, after I simmer down a bit and switch to wine or decaf., I will be curious to see what this "tuscan" brown is all about...

Default i was also wondering about the air vents in the seats....

My buddy just got the new IS-350 and it has the air vented Heated and Cooled seats. They are awesome. Wondering if the s5 had those as an option but i dont see it.

Default Dealer contacted me to order

My dealer contacted me this afternoon (28th) to place the order for the S5. I emailed him my request, but am playing telephone tag with him now - may be Monday before I confirm. Nothing definitive on delivery other than 'November'..

Default That's interesting... how are they writing contracts, if the pricing is not yet known?

Or, is this more of a deposit to ensure an early allocation type of thing?

Default Not according to the dealer..(more)

The salesperson (a manager there), stated that it is being 'pulled and salable', or something to that affect. Stated that this was an actual order..

As for pricing..easy, it is MSRP..stated that there was no negotiation. If it comes in as too expensive, I theoretically drop the order and they would just have a fully loaded s5 to sell..

I'll know more when I drop by the dealer on Monday. Anything I find out I will post..

Default Re: Dealer contacted me to order

My dealer also put my order into the system on Thursday. I'm expecting a similar time frame, but I think more information will be available after a build date is confirmed. I chose to pass-up the Lane-Assist even though it sounds like a nice feature.

Default Nice! I had a tough time deciding

on whether I wanted to go with the Stainless trim or the Carbon trim. I went with an admittedly conservative exterior color (almost went Meteor Gray but remembered that you said it was spoken for In the end, I figured that the arrest me red and blinding white would be too much for a car that should hit 60 in under 5 seconds. (I want to enjoy the power without being forced to find out how comfortable an orange jumpsuit is) I still can't figure out why the Stainless steel trim doesn't match on the center console. It would have looked really nice - I think.
