Im also a horsepower monger but i think the Cadillac will not hold traction as the Audi. I will only trust the Audi AWD system since they are the true pioneers.

Some people (like me) already have orders in. Once the build process starts (should be in the next few weeks), we'll get actual delivery ETA's. I still think it will be late March or early April deliveries, but either way, you'll have much more accurate estimates in a few weeks.

Does the 2015 S6 experience the throttle delay issues that the 2013 & 2014 incur? I would hope the 2016 will not have throttle delay issues.

At the Norcal Auto show, the local Audi dealer indicated the 2016 A6/S6 would start arriving in March/April 2015.

Those are roughly the dates I've been told as well, with east coast deliveries expected end of March/early April and west coast 2 weeks behind. Although none of the U.S. models have been released to production yet, so it's getting tight. They need to start building them in the next few weeks to make March/April deliveries.

There is an open question about whether the hp is really up or they are simply rating hp more honestly for 2016. A red interiors will also be an option (at least in Europe). No press release about US models yet.

I wanted the MMI update and prefer the new LED headlights, and like the other changes well enough, so cancelled my 2015 S6 order (after 2 months and no indication when it will go into production) with plans to order a 2016...if I don't change my mind. The new C63 AMG will be out by then, and maybe the M3 will tempt me again.
Can someone confirm that the 2016 will have LTE? Dealer and AoA are telling me that it's still 3G.

Yes, I can confirm that it is the ATT LTE(see option below on one of my inbound A6's).

Didn't mean to bring up an old post. If you do a one pay lease and total the car, you only owe the leasing company the residual. Your insurance company is obligated to pay the fair market value of the car , so you will get the difference back from the leasing company.

I did the same - My S6 showed up after all this time and I told them sorry I wanna wait for the 2016.

In the meantime i am also looking at the new CTS-V with zo6-esque motor or perhaps a hellcat Jeep. I will most likely never give up on my S4. I just love that car.
