100k/7 year warranty, is this offered by your dealer?
I just checked the paperwork once again. It says Audi Pure Protection. Platinum with $100 deductible. The bottom of the paper says Fidelity Warranty Services. I'm not sure if Fidelity is underwriting the Audi warranty. It was expensive I must say. I just don't want to deal with any issues for 7 yrs. I just paid it.

My salesperson drove the S6 and S7 on the same day on the same track and the S6 was the better choice she said. I read another review which said the same thing. The extra ~100 pounds is probably a top-heavy 100lbs. I understand the front/rear track is a little wider. At the end of the day, I didn't think the extra cashola was worth it. I also got the feeling that the S6 was a better driving car for my style of driving. Granted: I have not seen a S7 or driven an S7. It boiled down to price.

V8 any day, until someone builds a kickass engine like the one in GTR

Same thing happened to me. I was close to the $100k number. Ouch. I wished you lived closer. We would go have a beer and I'd show you my car.

Can't wait for you to see your car. You'll love it! When do you expect it? Black interior?

That's the worst part - it's here, I've seen it, I've sat in it, I just can't drive it. It's currently -18C here and the roads are skating rinks. My 19" winter wheels aren't due in until the new year, and my winter tires might be a little slower than that. Oh well, better to wait than to crack up the nice shiny new car.

Congrats on getting yours, which is pretty much a clone of mine (down to the colour and comfort seats). The only differences are the trim (mine is aluminum) and the night vision.

Congrats Ed...

You have good taste - I'm getting the exact same car with the same options, just need to wait a few more weeks.

And on the S6 vs S7 - I have driven both, and there is a difference. The S6 drives / feels hands down better. Funny, I never noticed the brake feel issue, but who knows.

Enjoy!
