Default Picked up my 2013 EBC S4 August 3..........

Picked it up Friday. EBC with "black" interior with carbon fibre. (I would call it charcoal, maybe, or dark gray, but it said "black" in the order guide.) Most of the options, with the exception of adaptive cruise control. Not much of a chance to drive it so far, but I love it! Very smooth, tight and fast - a very sophisticated car. My previous car was a C55 AMG MB - a great car, but it really can't compare with my S4. I wasn't totally sure about EBC, not having seen it in person, but so far, it's a great choice. Not too many of my friends and acquaintances have seen it yet, but those that have love it. I replaced the V6T badges - which seem meaningless - with the "Supercharged" badges - carbon fibre version. I don't believe we had the option in Canada of ordering the aluminum colored stone guards, matching the mirrors. In any case, having now seen them in pics, I really like them and plan to add them, if it becomes an after-market option for the 2013's. Hope you enjoy the pics............

Love the color. Seems like an excessive amount of orange peel, though.

Congrats! I really like the EBC. I suspect it will be a popular color the current MY.

I see what you mean, looking at the close-up photo. Not something I've noticed in person, however.

According to the manual, it does. I haven't tried it out yet.

Yeah I've never used it in a car or scene it used, but it's becoming more and more common now and I think it's a cool idea.

We've used it in our other car on trips. The kids will sit in the back seat and play songs on YouTube through the audio system.
