Default 2018 Audi RS5 in the states

Hey guys,

Has anyone received any word on when the order guide for the new 2018 Audi RS5 is coming out? I'm seeing very little intel on the RS5 in regards to the states while the Europeans, Australians and even Canadians are enjoying their new rides. lol

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also - I'm torn between either ordering it in Glacier White, Mythos Black, Daytona Grey or Navarra Blue - Any recommendations and/or better yet PICS??

Thanks

There's already a thread on this: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/aud...w-usa-2938171/

Can't help you with the color, that's personal taste.

As for the color, all of the colors you mentioned are available on the Audi A4 and A5 models. If you want to see these colors in person, I suggest visiting a few Audi dealers closest to you. Pics won't be too helpful because these paint finishes look different under different lighting conditions. Some photos won't show the true beauty and quality of these paint finishes.

I would like the S5 with the Front end of the RS5... The extra power of the RS5 is just a bonus and not needed S5 plenty fast but the front end is too KIA for me

Went to my dealer today, apparently they had a meeting yesterday and they were told we will see the first RS5's around March in the States... Orders should start around Jan/Feb with a wait time of 4-5 months until delivery... absolutely ridiculous, because at this time the 2019 pretty much is coming out, which means the RS5 SB is hitting the lots in europe probably lol. Well I made a deposit anyway and I will be the first one to get to order a RS5 coupe "at my dealership" once they have the order guide lol.

I'm going with the Nardo Gray. Saw an Audi A6 with that color today in the showroom and I love it!

Adding:

-Premium package
-Carbon optic package
-RS interior design package
-Advanced driver assist package

VERY NICE I too love the Nardo but this all gloss black one would just float my boat... So sleek so powerful...
