And the wait begins...
Test drove today and placed a deposit on a factory order. She will be Quartz Gray with the Velvet Beige/Dark Carpet and Fine Ash interior. Options will be Prestige, Innovation, B&O Sound System, Cold Weather, and Rear Side Air Bags. My dealer (Steven Creek Audi) said it will be either late March if they can get into the next build cycle or early April. Computers at Audi were down so I will not know until probably tomorrow if they were able to change a pending order. Woohoo!

Very nice! That's a beautiful color on the A7. One warning on the velvet beige interior is that the mats show dirt very easily. I have a set of black "stock" mats on order, and hope they won't look too off. Hey, if that's the worst I can complain about, then life isn't too bad!

Thanks for the advice!
I plan on getting the black rubber all-weather mats for the front and back. I have a similar set in my allroad and the work very well in trapping dirt and water. I am not sure about getting the rear cover in any other color than what comes with the interior. I also plan on getting the rear windows tinted, so hopefully that will cut down on the glare.

Just got a reply from my dealer. The only way the shelf and cargo cover can be changed is by the customer ordering one from the parts department. Hopefully window tinting will cut down on the glare as I will go that route first. The car I drove yesterday had a black interior and it was overcast so I did not notice it. I hope Audi addresses this as this has been mentioned in the forums as well as written reviews. Maybe an exchange program or discount?
Also found out that the dealer missed the March build and I am now looking at an April delivery.
