Default Ordered a new S7 yesterday

Well, I finally went and spoke to my dealer and ordered a 2016 S7. A pretty basic built; Sepang Blue, Lunar Silver interior, Black Optics and B&O sound system.

Not sure when we will see it as yet, probably in early spring!

I've had my sepang S7 for two months now and love it. Mine has the black interior and Bose.

I've heard a few people mention that the luner silver leather can be quite difficult to keep clean, especially if your a blue jeans wearer. So I'd get that treated/protected as soon as.

Are you planning any mods?

Default +1 on the Lunar Silver...

… I have gotten my care care products from Griot's for twenty years and when I called them up and asked about the Lunar Silver when I was considering my RS5 - they suggested to avoid it as it is a bear to keep clean if you are likely to use it as normal folks do…

it is a beautiful color!

Happy Motoring

My Sepang RS7 has Lunar Silver Sport seats and Audi Exclusive Interior. Coated all leather & Alcantara surface with Opticoat right after I received the car. SO far...no issues with jeans color transfer and no maintenance issues.

You will love the color combination....Sepang with lunar!!! I love mine.

Thanks, not a jeans wearer so not to worried. It is actually a bit darker than the Pebble Gray leather that is in my 991, and that is very easy to keep clean.

Just got word from my dealer that AoA has accepted the order and allocated a build slot. Shouldn't be all that long (at least compared to my 991 order!) now......

Got the "Entered Production" email today. Going a bit faster than I expected.

My car was supposed to go into production in February, 2016, and voi-la, it's at the port in San Diego already. I asked the dealer why and he indicated that Audi re-arranged the build slots and has ramped up production of all of their vehicles. My guess is that this is Audi's response to dieslegate to try and keep the #1 car manufacturer in the world. It took 30 days to go from Bermerhaven to San Diego. 13 to Jacksonville, FL.

I'm kind of frustrated. I ordered mine 11/24/15 and my dealer just told me they checked with Audi last Friday and my car is about 2 weeks behind schedule. It's looking like my car won't be here by the 3 month mark.
