Have you seen a fellow SB on the road?
I've had my Sportback for six weeks so far and I haven't seen any on the road yet. I *did* see a blue S5 SB on the Dulles Toll Road about two months ago, but my commute takes me by Audi USA headquarters twice every day. Rare Audis driven by Audi executives are seen pretty regularly out near where I work.
I work in the DC area and my 45 min each way commute takes me across a number of well traveled portions of the beltway. And to date, I haven't seen another consumer-purchased A5 SB on the road.
Has anyone else seen another Sportback "in the wild" yet?

I have a cab, see morecowbell32 in town a bit, have seen a white one on the road when out for a run the other day, and now the guy in my office building who had a 3 yr old S5cab apparently got a reddish colored A5SB that showed up yesterday...
also came face to face with another navarra blue cab in my town the other day, THAT was annoying!

I'm 90% sure I saw a black SB near where I live. I was driving the other way, so I didn't have the opportunity to confirm.
Suffice it to say my wife thought I was an idiot for lamenting that I may not be the first person in my neighborhood to have one (I don't take delivery till next Friday)

I ran into a Matador Red A5 SB heading toward Queens after the midtown tunnel once. I was heading into the City on the opposite direction. That was the only one I have ever seen on the road. And I drive all over the BQE, FDR, LIE, I95, GSP and major Jersey routes.
On the other hand, I always run into A7s and RS7s for some reason 😃

Mine just showed up yesterday. Navarra Blue S5 with Rotor Grey interior on 18" wheels. Currently parked next to my Phantom Black 2012 S4 which I'll regretfully be selling soon. The S5 will be prowling around the corridors of central NJ in the coming months, trying to get through the break in period as quickly as possible.
I've yet to see another one on the road although all of the dealers around me have been showing them in inventory for the last few weeks now.
