dmbcrew36, congrats and beautiful car. What color interior and trim did you get?

Black interior with alcantara. Carbon fiber inserts.

Absolutely loving the car so far - the running lights for 2013 definitely set the new S4s and S5s apart from the crowd.

Still getting used to the clutch (coming from a '09 VW GLI 6spd), as well as to the radio and nav controls.

Definitely going to get the windows tinted (including sunroof to prevent the car becoming an oven) as well as clear bra on the start button.

I need to figure out how to get the car to play the streaming pandora/rhapsody audio off of my Android (since the car seems to only be ready for iPhones and iPods???). It can't be too hard? Someone on here probably has an Android and knows how - maybe through the bluetooth?

I thought about the Q5 but it lacks enough awesome. From what I've read, the SQ5 is supposed to arrive in the US some time in 2013 but without he TDI motor. "They" predict that the same 3.0 supercharged motor that's in the S4 will be available.

We have another vehicle that we now use for our ski (and dirt) car so on super-deep snow days the S4 will stay home. Most days the snowplows get out early so it's usually packed snow and ice, which the S4 should handle with aplomb. There are only a handful of days per year when it snows so hard that the plows can't clear the road fast enough and I'll have to just deal with it on those days.
