Default 2011 S5 cabriolet facelift??

I read that the coupes will get the facelift for MY 2011. Does anyone know if the cabriolets will also get the same? Or will they be delayed a few months? I'm trying to decide if it's worth waiting a few months to place my order or if I should just try to find a MY10. Thanks...

There is no confirmation of that. I've seen conflicting info stating that the facelift won't come until 2012. At this point nobody knows if there will be any significant changes in 2011.

Even so, given the newness of the cab, I don't see them implementing a facelift as early as 2011, regardless of what they do with the coupes.

I heard something similar from my local Audi dealership. My sales associate was saying that their last allocations of 2010 models were done at some point in the next couple weeks. Then after that, it's all 2011 models.

I highly doubt any of the 5's will get a facelift that fast. With the convertible just debuting, the hardtops selling strong, and new lights and mirrors added this year, it's too soon.

any idea when 2011 cabs will be available for order in the US? I was told the same things as stated above about 2010's.

At this point, makes more sense to wait a couple months for me.

Don't hesitate, order as quick as possible. I ordered my S5 cab in Dec and took delivery last week. What an assume car. I had the first S4 cab with the new body style back in 2007. The V8 was nice but this V6 with supercharger is over a second faster and you can have Stasis chip it under warranty at an Audi dealer and be in the mid 4's for 0-60. I got the sport diff and can feel the back end hangout (no more understeer) WOW.

I was concerned about the first reviews on the transmission being slugish. They must have been on crack. This thing just pops through the gears. I can't wait to get the break in done at 1000mi so I can really lay into it.

Ditto to everything you said. It is an awesome car and it does pop through the gears.
