Just ordered a 2013 S4!
Hi all,
Just ordered a 2013 S4 and wanted to share the deets: Phantom Black Pearl Effect exterior Black/Lunar Silver interior Prestige S-tronic Sports differential Adaptive dampening suspension Fine Nappa leather 19" 5-segment-spoke-design Stainless Steel Mesh inlays (with piano black instrument panel surround) Wheel Lock Kit Audi Guard all-weather floor mats and trunk liner ETA late July. :) The big changes for me from my 2010 S4 are the exterior/interior colors, and the addition of the adaptive dampening suspension. Curious what others think. I'm going from an Ice Silver/Black Silk Nappa car (and several other prior autos with the same color combo), to a dark exterior and light interior -- daring moves for me. Also, my current S4 has sport diff, but not the adaptive dampening suspension. For those with full ADS experience, any thoughts? I did NOT check the box for the "Driver Assist package", which would add adaptive cruise control and dynamic steering. Good move to leave this out? I never need or use cruise control, but don't know whether dynamic steering would be a good thing or not-so-good thing to have? If anyone has logged time in a car with dynamic steering, I'd appreciate your take. Thanks in advance for input! Will continue to share more as things progress... PS: I would have gone with the "Black Edition" trim package, or even just the 19" wheels from the TI package instead of the potato peelers, had these been options for 2013. :( |

But that's how it goes I guess. . . . |
Are we talking about July 2012 for the delivery? If so, I might be doing a serious upgrade from my crashed, hack-fixed 2012 S4.

If his order just went in, late July is probably pushing it, but cars will be in the US late June / early July. Mine is scheduled to hit the dealer the week of July 9th.

If that is the case of the cars arriving to the US in July, then I think I might have to call my friends and make a change of vehicle.

I changed my order from a A4 to a S4 P+ last saturday and the ETA is the same (10-12 weeks - that's last week of july)
The longest wait of my life!!! |

The biggest difference for you will be how much more attention the black car will need to keep clean VS your current S4. I saw a black a5 the other day, and had to mentally remind myself, "Do not buy another black car". 5 are enough. But they do look great for about 15 minutes after they are washed.
