The long wait gets harder as it gets shorter.

Default igym

i'll clarify. you didn't place an order. you gave a deposit. someday you'll place your order and your car will arrive 60-90 days later.

in the intervening time, depending on how old you are, your ********* will be drooping quite a bit more, you'll have gone that much more bald, and you'll be that much closer to marriage if you are still dating the same chick (assuming you are dating one now and you are not already married), by the time you place your order.

kthxbye

Default Hopefully the V10? I hope you don't expect it to cost the same

Be prepared, when the V10 comes out it will cost considerably more that the V8. Most likely it will be just shy of 175K. So all of you who just think that Audi will stop making the V8 version and just stick a V10 in for the same price will be sadly mistaken. Talk about sticker shock. Audi will be offering the V8 throughout the lifespan of the car. The V10 and possible Spyder versions will be offered at premium prices. Putting a deposit down on a car that you have no idea how much it will cost takes nerve. Any dealership that lets you think it will be a V10 is doing you a terrible disservice. Make sure you are ready to sign on the dotted line for a nearly $200,000 after taxes and you will be fine.

Default i don't think it'll be that much

comparing a base V10 to a base V8 (as things stand in the US right now) i'd assume 15-20K more is a safe bet.

the upcoming 997 TT S will likely be that much more than the non-S.

my $0.02 anyway.
