My dealer says delivery in "July/August"... I'm thinking September :)

Config:

- Northern Blue
- Amaretto leather
- Convenience Package (2005 deletes Tire Pressure Monitor, adds Advanced Key, which is like Mercedes' Keyless Go)
- Cold Weather Package
- Parktronic
- 19" Wheels
- Front Seat Ventilation and Massage (note that ventilation has been moved out of Convenience and combined with Massage in 2005)
- Door Armrest in Leather/Center Console with Premium Stitching
- Alcantara Package
- XM Satellite Radio

So, basically I didn't get the Adaptive Cruise Control (I have it on my Infiniti FX45 and rarely use it), Comfort Door Closer (feh), Solar Sunroof (I like to see through it), the cool new wood steering wheel option (beautiful but not sporty), and the rear-seat lumbar/climbate options.

Power is up 5 to 335bhp.

Other color combos were tempting, but I really fell in love with the Sycamore wood, which only comes with the Amaretto and Blue interiors. The all-blue interior looks pretty weird, everything's blue; the seats, headliner, dash, steering wheel. So, Amaretto it was. Thanks to Audipages for helping me decide.

I kind of miss the "Atmospheres" interior lineup from the late 90s. I had a '97 A6 with a blue dash/headliner, and vanilla leather seats. Now that was a sharp combo!

I'll post the 2005 SWB options list separately.

I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago. I passed on the Amaretto interior because of the black carpet. Shows every speck of dirt or dust.

I was told late July delivery.

Any word on pricing?
