I'm originally from Minneapolis but I've lived in Houston for around 7 years now (starting to lose count). Can't say enough how much I enjoy not having to deal with winters and all the preparation that comes with it. I should take delivery of my vehicles late December early January. It will be our "cold" time of the year but no need for winter tires for me. I'll just get to hear that engine roar on a cold start.

Diamond grey stitching over black interior. Dynamic Steering:+!

Nobody has received them yet. 2019 A5/S5/RS5 still haven't been released from the ports.

Oh I didn't know that, thanks for the info. Just got a text from my dealer saying the shipping date for the car is now 11/06/2018, I am very excited to hear its ahead of schedule! It was scheduled for January-February but who knows it might still be that long ����...

That 11/06 date you heard is probably a launch car. My dealer has a white one coming for the launch soonish,

i ordered a sonoma green one already so all good. A premium for a RS5 is laughable. This isn't a Ferrari.

the first batch of cars dealers get they refer to them as their “launch cars” I guess.
