Default S4 & Tiptronic

Just heard today from my dealer that all orders for the S4 with Tiptronic will be cancelled and reoffered as 6 speed only. All tips going into the A6 2.7.

Default Autoweek has an S4 tip...

I know people with the mags who have driven the S4 with the tip. So we know they made them, or some...

Don't know any more...

I heard that the tiptronic was delayed availability, and all orders currently in the pipe were being changed to manual. The Tiptronic was expected by end of year.

Default Tiptronic update

When I put my name (& money) on a list back in early May, I was #35 on the S4 list at that dealer. When I announced that I wanted a Tiptronic instead of a six speed, it moved me up to one of only two people who wanted a Triptronic. At that time, I was told that the automatics would be delayed.

Then my dealer called me and asked how I wanted to order my Tiptronic, as they would be getting four cars in their initial order, 2 six speeds and 2 automatics. I was told to expect delivery in the period of Late September-middle of October and that they should have a demo by August.

Just last week, my dealer called and said that the Tiptronics would indeed be delivered AFTER the initial six speeds and that I should now expect delivery in December. They also said that they wouldn't get a demo until September.

What I am seeing here on the forum confirms what they told me, but I will call them tomorrow and see what they know. If I find out anything, I will post it.
