US "launch" cars release from port 9/22 ???
This weekend I finalized getting my hands on my local Audi dealership's "launch" car that they were thinking of keeping as a demo car (bah!)
Anyway, they said that the car was in port in Huston and that AoA was going to release them on 9/22 (possibly sooner). Anyone know any more details about this?
I'm so excited I can's sleep ;-)

First batch released last Thursday. What this means is that cars have started to leave the port at a rate of 30-50 per day. They should all be at dealerships by the end of this week or early next week at the latest. INCLUDING MINE-WAHOOOOO!!!

I have a theory
The first cars that leave port are to be use for display purposes only....This is meant to get product to the dealership, so that when they do their print/TV advertisement that there is something to see at the dealers. The second shipment will be to those individuals that have ordered cars. Sound feasible?

This bears witness to what I have been told...
Most dealers are getting one or two cars only on the initial allocation. However, we all know that pretty much all of those cars are sold anyway--there still won't be anything to see at the dealerships.
