2012 TTS
Not much information out there, but autos.aol.com says the TTS is unchanged for 2012.
Tips on dealing? Don't have a clue - I've only bought four new Audis in the last 16 months, so can't claim any expertise in negotiating. Clearly, I have a complete lack of self-control. Just make sure you go in armed with good market research data.

I placed the order back on march 17 which was still under the 2011 guide. It wasn't til about less then a month ago when i went in to test drive a 2011 phantom black TTS convertible (since I've only driven the TT convertible and TTS Coupe prior) that they told me my order would be push back to a 2012 model and that it wouldn't get here til early October. Then i check back like a few weeks later and they told me that it got push up to aug 8th. Checked one last time a few days ago and they told me it should be ready to ship on the 28th this month so ill be itching for it soon. As far as pricing goes, when my sale rep punching in the numbers to make i got the TTS i exactly wanted the price came out the same as it were to be a 2011. As far as the deal goes, only thing i've even put down was a deposit for the car. Really haven't done any negotiating yet that why i was wondering if any one can give me some pointer on how to deal with the dealership when the car does come in and its time to buy.

My local, small dealership wasn't interested in negotiating on thier S4 because they weren't getting another one in for a month or more. The larger dealerships far away have up to 6 on their lots and are ready to talk on price.
On the TTS, only one of the 5 dealerships have one on their lot. My impression (you owners can correct me) is that the majority arrive pre-sold like yours.
If your dealership fits this description they won't feel much need to talk below MSRP because they are confident they'll sell your car at full price if you don't take it.
That's the general rule being applied to what I"ve learned. Haven't been looking very long though, so not absolutely sure on the supply of TTS'. Specifics regarding the TTS can be corrected by those that have been shopping longer than I have......

Hope you like yours as much as I like my TTS. I would have never bought one but I managed to find one to test drive late last fall. Got some money knocked of the sticker price and got the "Audi Loyalty" discount added to that. Couldn't afford not to order a TTS
