Default S3's in the wild?

700 miles in and I have never seen an S3 other than mine on the street (Dealerships don't count - they considered in captivity). I never saw one on the street prior to owning an S3 as well.
Seen a dozen or so A3s though.
Anyone spot S3's on a regular basis? Kind of liking that there are only few out there..... for now.

Been looking for them since I placed a deposit in November in NJ and now 350 miles in in SoCal and nothing. Surely there are many just from the posts here!

Back in October, I saw a white S3 in a pay parking lot near the courthouse in Downtown Los Angeles. I have yet to see one since.

I have not see a 2015 S3 or A3 in my area since I started paying attention last October!

Cant wait to be driving such a unique car around my town!

I see a lot of S5s a S4, heck when I got my A3 this past Nov, the dealer didn't even have any S3s. They had S4s.

I've yet to see another one in the wild. Today makes 2 months since my car was released from captivity.

You sure it wasn't early December? I've been parking in Japan town in DTLA a few times, which is near the court houses... haha! I see several A3's on a daily basis, but I've yet to see another S3.

I'm glad we're a rare breed at the moment.

I've seen the same sepang blue s3 in Durham twice. I haven't seen any other than that but I do know my dealer just received a black prestige like mine only without advanced tech.

Apparently my wife saw one in the parking lot of the church she attends. She said blue and it definitely had an S3 badge as she looked close. Church is an affluent village near the town where I live in central Ohio. I have not seen this interloper to verify however. I don't see many A3s around town either. I see some older A4s and A6s however on occasion. I'm quite OK with having a unique car but I'm not really concerned. Just enjoying what Audi made! Can't wait for spring however!!
