When will the A5 “Sportback” actually arrive for purchase in the US?

Car & Driver says first quarter:
2018 Audi A5/S5 Sportback Official Photos and Info ? News ? Car and Driver

Other sources say mid year.

Our local Audi dealer said, don’t expect it before 3rd quarter.

Ugh.

Is there a build sheet out for the A5, S5 coupes and sportback?

Not in the US, take a look at the UK site. The A5/S5 Sportback has been available there for a few years. Keep in mind the trim levels will be somewhat different....

To give you an idea, the new allroad order guide came out in mid may and the 1st ones are arriving this week. So, when the order guide shows up that will give you some idea.

My salesman said mid-year, and I actually consider him pretty knowledgeable. This is the third Audi I've bought/leased from him and he has always been spot-on with his timelines.
