Also, for those of you in the NYC tri state area, I wound up buying from New Country Audi in Greenwich. Their pricing was ultra competitive and they were such a pleasure to deal with I wound up getting a new Q7 for the family car! Ian Chang was my salesman and Nick Belli the sales manager were awesome.

Thanks again to everyone who weighed in with their thoughts/opinions.
I am really looking forward to your pictures of Tornado Gray with Black Optics as I'm pretty sure that is the color I'm going for.
I apreciate the info on a good dealer as I will be relocating from FL to northern Jersey in a few months. I haven't decided if to place an order with the dealerahip I know and comfortable here or shop around in the Tri state area.

Would you mind saying how competitive was New Country Audi's pricing (how much off MSRP)?
Also, what are your thoughts about NE potholes and 20" rims? Will you be switching out tires to all seasons or getting a winter set?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thank you! I will clean it up and get the pollen off of it and send some more photos over the weekend. V8 sounds and feels great.

Blackhawk 123, to answer your question about the rims, I am going to get a set of 19 inch rims for the winter time/pothole season. I also got the tire / rim package which is a must for me in the northeast.

I'm thinking BBS, Ace, or OZ. I would love to hear some thoughts on that. I know we are months away from that but might as well look now.

Funny that I've been pondering the exact same thing between 18 S5 SB vs a 16 or 17 S6......thanks for raising the question and the feedback guys!

Congrats on the awesome new ride.

Can you PM pricing details? I am in the Hartford area so Greenwich is about an hour drive away.

Congrats!

i just traded in my 2018 A5 sportback with 3K miles for a 2016 S6. I like the v8, space and premium feel of the s8 over the sportback.
