Did you have pricing info for it, or did you place an order without pricing?

Congrats!

Now... for the waiting game.

I saw the RS5 Cab in an Auto show and it is a stunner...

The only 3 small issues are the lack of a spoiler/motorized spoiler and the soft top (I prefer hard top hence the coupe) and the 4.9s 0-60 speed (compared to 4.5s for coupe... but it is a very small detail)

Be sure to ask your dealer for the ETA schedule printout/sheet.

And track your car at marinetraffic.com (Spelling) when it loads onto a ship.

Oh, and Misano Red is one of the 2 best colours (disclosure: I am biased).

The other colour is Sepang Blue.

Default I also ordered one

Daytona grey, alum optic, titanium wheels, sport exhaust.
Can't wait!
I like the red too, will be a great car.
Will be interesting to see when you get yours, shouldn't be too long, I've heard there are a few at the port already.

That reminds me...does anyone know about the 4.9 second 0-60 time? I've heard that audi underestimates these times quite a bit so does anybody know if getting better times will be almost for sure?

My order: Ipanema Brown / Black, MMI, driver assist, sport exhaust.

I officially placed my order in late February (I was on the waiting list for an allocation for a while before that). I still don't have a target delivery date, though I'm told I should be learning that date later this month. When I ordered the car, I was told that it probably wouldn't show up until June or July.

For any of you guys that are leasing the RS5 Cab, can you give me an idea of what your monthly lease payment is? My dealer is quoting around $1,500/month, which seems much too high to me.
