What’s more upsetting is that I’ve already put 5 grand deposit to hold my place in line. That’s potentially 10-12 months that Audi has had my money in their pockets where it could be earning me interest or dividends on investment.

Also, based on the fact that they have made no vehicles available (2.9 litre) to journalists or youtubers for review, I think that the S7’s are going to be significantly delayed here. Wonder what the problem is ??

It's strange how different info that we are getting from different dealers, even among different salespersons. I think personally I want to wait until I see one in person, then I can choose what options I want. I wonder if the sport exhaust is worth the upgrade?

Interestingly, the flat bottom non-heated steering wheel is standard in Canada, whereas that's not even optional here in the US.....
