Sooner Rather than Later I hope. I couldn't justify moving from my 03-B6 to the B7. But the B8 looks like a Winner (I'm finally over the big front grille).

Although the 2006 A3 was available in April of 2005, I don't think the 2009 A4 will be available that early. But who knows.

I read production of the 08 A4 ends Christmas, That means O9 will be built starting in January; need to build stock for a couple of months, so by May we should have it here.
I think B8 will be much faster because of 150-200 lbs less and 10+ hp

it will be sold as a 2009 and not available until late 2008. But don't forget that dealers still need to sell their '08 and even '07 models, so it's better their customers don't expect a redesign anytime soon.

as that's the usual time frame that AoA likes to bring cars to the US market. As far as leftovers go, AoA is one of the better US car companies that seem to time the end-of-the-year market. They never seem to have many cars left at the end of the MY as other companies do.

Of course, that wasn't the case with the 07 Q7's where they were offering $4K incentives. Though, I did hear that there weren't that many left in the the Boston area. Did seem to be a lot left over here in the Minneapolis area.
