I followed the total on cars . Com, when released there were about 240 showing in stock, now there are about 170 and very few with pictures so probably very few on lots. It sucks to wait till May, I certainly didn't expect a 6 month wait!

Despite that two mechanics complimented me on the wagon specifically, and really seemed to like the car. One who pulled it into the garage was even surprised by the power it unexpectedly had when he gunned it slightly in the lot. The dealer I got mine at is Massive with easily 300 plus cars in inventory, and they have gotten their hands on maybe 5 of the new Allroads.

It constantly amazes me that car people fully recognize that advantages to wagons, and almost universally like them, when the general public in the US just does not get it.

Which dealer around philly did you go to? The first B9 I picked up came right off the truck in November, the second one they had an allocation that was unsold and modified it to my liking (early December), that one is arriving around March.

I hear this car is sold the most in Colorado, Pacific Northwest and Northeast and they get most of the allocation. In Dallas I've seen a couple older allroads but no B9 other than myself yet.
