Curious when they hit the shores in the US.

 

my 2010 is set to be delivered in one week. i know it was a very late build as people are talking about the 2011 as mid july arrivals

 

Kailua, which variant and how much u pay out the door if u dont mind me asking...looking to pick up an '11 cab. thx

 

keep in mind mine is a Canadian car but it was 56xxx out the door sprint blue, sport diff 6 speed. 3 month wait as inventory is ridiculously tight right now. paid 1500 under msrp and got audi care tossed in

 

yeah - i'm considering ordering a 2011, but I haven't been able to drive an S4 yet. There are not any manual transmission 2010's left on the lots around here, so I need to wait for the 2011s to get here. So hopefully this time next month?

 

the guys over on audizine who ordered 2011's are being told they will be in port arount the 6th and then 10 days to the dealer so ya about a month. i was lucky enough to take the fully loaded s4 they had at my dealer out after i ordered my car. the 6 speed is great....way better than what in my current a4. i was also told yesterday that my car will be here on the 28th and ready for pickup on the 29th....the wait is killing me

 

Yeah - I drove an A4 and was disappointed with both the clutch and steering feel (the actual transmission felt OK). Then we drove an S5 and I liked the clutch feel and steering much better. But I don't want to make any assumptions on the S4 feeling the same way. Want to drive to be sure before I order a $50k car.

 

fair enough. i would suggest getting the sport diff as you get drive select light with steering feel and throttle control. my car came off the truck today and i get it tomorrow....cannot wait. i found the steering set to dynamic to be amazing. feels very stiff at high speed with good feedback but when in a parking lot to be very compliant. best of luck finding one to drive.

 

Love my 2010 S4, not sure what changes for 2011. Recent article in Forbes cited the S4 as one of the hardest car to get in America due to supply. Nice to have a fun and unique car. If I had a dollar for every 3 series I see on the road I could get myself an R8 5.2

 

ya it had something like a 17 day inventory......most cars are in the 90s. i think there are 5 in my city and about 37,652 335's.....very rare and not too slow

 

I called AoA on Monday to get an update on the status of my 2011 and this is what I was told:


Inspected at the factory - June 17th
Loaded on the ship - June 25th
Expected to arrive in port - July 9th
Released to car carrier - July 15th
Expected delivery date to dealer – week of July 19th

Small changes in the 2011, and I believe the biggest was standard HD radio. Here's the 2011 order guide with pricing (taken from over on Audizine):

What kind of pricing are you seeing on ordered S4s? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on one.
