FYI...this was just posted on the q-list:<br>-----------------------------------<br>"In my possession is a new S4.<br>Wow. Great Chassis, great brakes, gobs of torque, and a righteous Imola<br>yellow.<br>If you are in Los Angeles tonight, stop by Rusnak in Pasadena.<br>Ciao<br>Paul Rivera"<br>------------------------------------<br>I hope he doesn't mind if like 1000 people show up!<p>Wish I could be there...someone bring their digital camera and post pics!!!<p>Bob W.<br>'99 A4 1.8Tqms, APR<br>

It sure would be nice, anyway. Chris Boynton (the 100,000 mile guy) is down in the<br>LA area right now. I've left him a couple messages about that car at Rusnak. Hopefully<br>he can go and scout it out for us.<p>He did report earlier to me today that he saw two A6 4.2's at Circle Audi, Long Beach. He said with the 17" wheel option, they come with 255/45/17 tires!!!!<p>Corey S<br>Wett 97 1.8tqm

Can't make it tonight, but I'll stop by tomorrow morning. I just happen to have my digital camera and will get photos. I hope it's still there!!!

Stan, we need you to lead a convoy to LA tonite with the XENONs so we can all peek at the new S4 and A6's...<br>So why do they have the cars and we don't??? <br>AND AND AND<br>What is the final price on these cars?? <br>Does anyone have any idea yet what they're paying for the new models??<br>4.5 hrs to SoCal, hmmm I recall some boasting in prior posts about people making it in about that time from S.Jose to LA-ish. What's the mileage down there?<br>Who's got a V-1 to lead the way also?<br>:)<br>

but not during rush hour<p>best time is 4.5 hrs with one stop for gas, avg approx 90 mph though <p>101 to 152 and straight down 5<p>britoki (Brian T) <br>97 1.8T QS AT

Yep...I am -- well, my wife is getting one.<br><br>We're hopefully going to place an order tomorrow -- totally loaded (sport premium, heated seats, etc.). We're getting this car because I wrecked my TT about 6 wks. ago. Tried to talk her into an A4 but she really didn't like the styling and I don't think you can really go wrong with the 323i, either. It's a great car in my opinion -- although I would have liked an A4 as well.<br><br>Well, I'm going to replace the Mustang convertable that I'm driving now (and was driving before the TT) with, hopefully, an S4 sometime around 1st - 2nd quarter next year (hopefully an MY 00.5).<br><br>If you ask me...I think we will be one of the luckiest car families that I know come next summer!!! I can almost taste that 250 HP bi-turbo.....<p>jason

there not for sale. The (very friendly) salesman said they were press cars. The cars had speedometers with only kilometers, so I'm not sure they were completely American spec. They did look very cool with the new, wider fenders and '17 wheels. He said they had an S4 and an A6 2.7 T last week. REALLY sorry I missed them!

For all u hopefuls...according to the personnel at Rusnak...the S4 will only be there for tonight. Don't quote me on it tho. I was there personally...check out the pics at the top. ;-)<p>-A430v
