Just got a call from my dealer that my '01 is built and on the boat... Says that it should be ready to pick up in mid-late June. Anybody else hearing the same?
Should I be getting excited yet, or is this unrealistic? I have had the damn thing on order since December! Now I just gotta figure out what to do with my S6

I just reserved a 2001 at my dealer. It should be here in early July. They gave me a choice of a couple already in country or a new one. I wasn't wild about the other choices so I chose the 2001. The only difference they're aware of is a 5/50 warranty versus the 3/50. They have no brochures, pricing or equipment information. Does anyone know what other updates or changes are in store for 2001? Maybe a surprise M3-killer drivetrain?

The sport interior package (alcantara) now costs an extra $400, plus I guess it comes with ESP also. That's all I'm aware of.

* Base 2001 MSRP is $1K more than 2000 on the nose... but that includes ESP as a standard feature. Not bad.

* The Sport package is now a $400 option and comes with the usual alcantara furnishings, aluminum belt-line trim, and <b>polished aluminum outside mirrors</b>. Definitely worth it!

* Enter Casablanca white, exit Hibiscus Red.

* The only other change is that they're now calling the convenience package the <i>premium package</i>.

So unless you really want aluminum side mirrors and ESP, the 2000 model is the same car.

Oh, I forgot to mention... you can also opt for the RS4 380hp engine - only a $120 option - what a bargain ;o)<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/larryescortsig.jpg">
