Big Dilemma
Three weeks ago I ordered :
A7 Quartz Gray with Nougat Brown and Ash wood
Black Headliner
Prestige Package
Driver Assistance Package
20 " Sport Package
Full LED Lights
Rear Side Air bags
No build date yet. The dealer has on the water about a week to two away a very similar car the only differences Polished Walnut instead of Ash and no rear side air bag option. I am in an A8 which my best friend is buying for his wife.
The dealer is going to hold the car for me when it comes in so I have first shot at it. Both woods are beautiful, any opinions out there?

I regularly take my grandchildren in my car. Had I gotten into an accident and one of them suffered an injury that the rear side air bag could have minimized or eliminated, I don't know how I would live with myself. For that, a 3 month wait to me is a very small price to pay.

[QUOTE=fkaufman;24268319]This is a very personal thing. As far as the wood, it makes very little difference. But you ordered the Rear Side Air bags for a reason.

This is my business car, I have 2 thirteen year old boys that are in my car about once a month that is why I ordered the rear side air bags. I feel the same way, just struggling with the long wait. Most dealers will not order a car for their lot with rear side air bags due to the fact that are not to be used with very small children or babies.

Then I don't understand why you even asked the question when you already have the answer.

I'll be the voice of disagreement. I love the ash wood in my A7 and have had many comments on it and its not something you see in very many cars right now.
Although I agree to be in the same shoes as you I would probably jump at the one on the boat...

My Audi A8 was the first car I have kept over 3 years. I ordered it to my specs and still love it. Now after 5 1/2 years and no warranty left I am ready for a change. I will most likely wait for the car I ordered, I plan on keeping the car for 5 years. I would really like a build date to give me some idea of when I will get the car. I was told that Audi is running at full capacity on the A6/A7 that's why the long wait. When I ordered my A8 they had it to the dealer in 7 1/2 weeks built to my spec. including a non common color that was an upgrade $. Thanks for everyone's input this is a tough crowd.
