Hi, I am here in Frankfurt with the Audi/VW press contingent covering the IAA Auto Show. I have asked about when the S4 will be released in the U.S. It <b>has not</b> been released as of today, Monday, September 13. Anybody who tells you otherwise is wrong. Some S4's have been released to Audi itself. So technically it is not incorrect to say that S4's are being released. But they are not being released to the general public.

The good news -- they <b>will</b> be released from port within 5 days from today. That is the official word from AoA's head of Distribution. I was told that cars are put on trucks based on logisitcal criteria. That means that a car going to a Houston dealer may arrive by truck later than one going to Chicago, even though the port is in Houston. But the good news is that they will be rolling out of there this week.

Guess that was a mirage on the car trailer Friday, heading west on the Mass Pike

...and they are being released. There are lots of them, not just S4s, and there are only so many car carriers. This is the story I'm being told by my dealer, and it makes me feel better.
