Zuly, your color scheme looks great (I entered Glacier White with Magma Red on the Audiusa configuration tool). Did you order Prestige? Did you get any packages or options?

My dealer told me that he has seen a record number of the S4s and S5s with the Magma interior.

Maybe the change from the black/red leather (which is what I have now) to full red has pushed people into ordering the red leather.

Stunning. Congratulations.

Mark - Glacier White / Red Nappa / Carbon Atlas / Prestige / DAP / S Sport. Would have liked the BO package but the wheels just didn't do it for me

Yes the White//Red combo is stunning, dealer had one (P+) on the lot that lasted for 3 days 😊

Gotta spice up the overall look somehow... I'm a defender of the understated look, but even with that I can't help but feel they watered down the exterior in order to sell S5s.

I have to assume the 5's and 7's have terrific profit margins -- and, it is said that "sedans" (like the A4 & S4) are slowly fading in popularity.

The price differences between the 4's and 5's and the 6's and 7's are just impossible for me to accept as I know the difference in price is not due to cost factors but "the traffic will bear" factors due largely, I would imagine, to the styling of the the 5's and 7's.

Sometimes I wonder if there will be an A9 and an S9, it would, frankly seem to be a license to print money, if these models were to come out -- and then, of course, the obligatory Q9 would (or should) put the fear of failure into the Escalade.

I considered an A6 with all the sporty options available and another S4 -- both coming in close enough in price to not make that a factor. Even in Cincinnati, the A6 in traffic seems too large (and I rarely have more than two humans and one sheltie in the car at the same time).

Also, I took an S6 on a 24-hour test drive and it was "a mighty wind" of power and poise. Yet, size, again, and somewhat the complete lack of drama the car has (even at full-cry) made another S4 seem almost a no-brainer -- as if any car that has an MSRP north of $60,000 has that right.

Sometimes -- not often -- I look at the price asked for these cars (and not just from Audi) and I wonder how it is we can buy these things with a straight face.

Order Waitlist. Hopefully your dealer gets an A4 allocation in May.

Holy smokes they are way ahead of schedule then, or maybe I got bunched in with a batch of other Daytona Grays. I'll take it!
