Congrats! Wait for the Nor'easter to pass by though...That is if you can wait that long. Take pics— Really would love to see what Vesuvius Gray looks like beyond the videos I’ve seen. Good luck!

Same here...Vesuvius Gray was my choice along with the Sarder Brown interior. Mine didn't arrive today so I hope it shows up next week while I'm on the road.

Well this is interesting. I saw this just now (no, this is not where I live, but only about a 50 minute flight away).

http://www.audi-carsearch.ca/usedcar...19007.htm#/i/s 10,AAAP,AAAS,AAAT,AABL 1024,43.94961,-78.84793,1500,TDFLIDBYMiwgVGF1bnRvbiwgT3NoYXdhLCBE dXJoYW0gUmVnaW9uYWwgTXVuaWNpcGFsaXR5LCBPbnRhcmlv 1510,2017/l 12,1,MODELYEAR,D

If you expand technical data, you see this:

1) " Without electronic engine sound measures "

Wonder what that's about?!

2) Emission standard LEV 3/Tier 3 125
-does that mean there is no gasoline particulate filter?

See: " Gasoline particulate filters are not expected to be widely adopted in North America, where particle emissions are regulated through mass-based PM limits only. The US Tier 3 PM limit of 3 mg/mi, as well as the 2025 California LEV III limit of 1 mg/mi will likely be met through in-cylinder control technologies. "

That spare tire makes me so happy. Can you tell I despise Mercedes' decision to use friggin run flats?

Interesting fact. B&O Advanced 3D sound system on the A6 = spare tire delete. On the A8, the spare tire is still there!!!

The gasoline particulate filter is something that I hope does not exist on this A8. I know Audi/VW is committed to adding them to ALL cars post dieselgate, but if the diesel particulate filter experience is similar to the gasoline one, let's just say none of us want to be stuck one day having to replace one of those super expensive parts as Audi has no emissions specific warranty, that I can find, that exists on several other cars post the 4 year 50,000 mile warranty.
