but now that everybody's taking delivery, I'm getting jealous...if it wasn't for a long line of traffic on Ogden Ave today (Chicago), I would have stopped by my dealer... =)

Default Saw one before it was picked up - the sound was incredible, and even better with sport.

The car was beautiful...Avus Silver (not my choice, but looked sharp)...really, really really liked the whole car. Inside, Outside - you name it. And the sound - wow.

The fact that it has four doors (just had first kid and just sold E46 M3) and window shades made the wife happy - very family frendly, but very aggressive.

It is everything you could want in a car, unless you are a total track junkie.

Do it - you will be happy.

Default ogden ave? laurel in westmont? if so, that's where I just took delivery of the misano red and...

their next RS4 arrival will be a daytona gray specimen and will most likely be available because the person who ordered it is now backing out. Talk to Josh... I'm sure you know him already.

If you're deducting the lease costs for its business use, then that tempers the impact.

Default i take cake for dumbest..but probably the happiest today

Traded in my 25th anniversary S4 with 2900 miles yesterday for a new RS4. My S4 had been in the shop for 25 days waiting for a new transmission to get installed...i snapped when i saw my new RS4's hips. The dealer was pretty cool about buying back my S4 without killing me.

This is my first post at audiworld...just had to share a bit of how this nubile young RS4 screwed up my 25th anniversary 'til death do us part marriage! I'm sure i won't be the last one to leave a beloved for the RS4.

25 repair days for a car w/2900 miles should have been a AoA buy back, IMO.
