Ordered 2012 A4
Just ordered an Audi A4 Prestige with SLine package in Moonlight Blue.
In case you want to see how Moonlight Blue looks, it's a color option on the A7's. The dealer had one on the floor, and that pretty much convinced me to get that color over the Monsoon Grey.
Had no 2012 pricing, but negotiated $2500 off the 2012 price the car will come out to. Dealer said that if prices did go up, it would be about 1%. It's a gamble, but I configured a 2011 model similar to what I wanted, and used that as a basis for negotiating a discount.
There is a shortage of backup cameras from the manufacturer. I was informed that the car will not be delivered with a back up camera. The dealer stated that when the cameras were available again, it would be installed free of charge. They showed me a sales guide for the sales people that stated this. The sales people were in training today at the dealership on the 2012 models.
I was told a delivery time of late August, that was also when they were going to get their inventory in of 2012 A4's.
Hope this helps anybody looking to order a 2012 A4.

I also pulled the trigger this weekend and ordered a 2012 Audi A4 Prestige, Auto, Sport Package, Audi Drive Select,
and wood. Phantom Black on Black.
The transmission for 2012 is still the 8 speed tip. My dealer also said they had training on the '12 models and thats what they were told.
And the back up camera is a dealer install circuit chip later on in the fall/winter hopefully when the part is off back order. I negotiated $400 over invoice, with expected delivery sometime in August.

Good to see that the lead-time hasn't been increased any further for the 2012 models, it looks like you guys are waiting about three months.
I ordered a 2011 A4 P+ Black/Black 6MT in the middle of March and was recently told that it has become a 2012 model. I would have expected delivery some time in June but don't know what to think now. If there's a gap in production for the changeover, it's possible that the earliest to see any 2012s stateside would be August. It seems possible, since toknee's dealer is getting their inventory stock then.

Absolutely gorgeous 993! My father has a 1998 Turbo S, and it has been my favorite car of all time.
The dealer I used was Audi Meadowlands in Secaucus, NJ.
Moonlight blue has a very gray hue to it. It's hard to describe. I usually buy cars that are blue or gray, and this color is a good mix of both, definitely blue, but grayish at the same time.

I'll be in Madison and Kenilworth next week, maybe i can swing by the dealer.
Your dad has an S?
Wow, very special car.
Your dad may know me from RennList, (cgfen)
be safe
