Default And the number of R8s being built each day has dropped significantly

So those numbers will drop soon enough as the R8 inventory gets sold off.

Default The demand for A5s in Jan 08 was significantly higher than could be met

Supply was the limiting factor there. They probably could have sold 4x that many cars.

Demand is now beginning to be the limiting factor.

Default Numbers must be horrible (as you already mentioned)

Audi Canada hasn't released the numbers as it hasn't showed up on Canadian Newswire yet, and Audi usually posts the info within the first five days of the month.
