Yes, the 19" Sport pkg was overall more for aesthetics (slightly lowered stance and very nice 5-spoke Y 19" rims), although I really wanted the 'performance' of the sport seats as well. I'm used to a firmer ride and my typical use roads are pretty good. 'course I'll be going with dedicated 17" or 18" rims and snow tires next Winter. All the best with your order!
I too, have placed my order back on December 15th for an 2011 A5.
Ice Silver/Black Premium Plus, 6 speed, B&O, exhaust tips. I was going to go with the Sport Package, but heard the 19's ride very firm. They look great, but the roads are pretty bad in the Detroit area.
You're from MA. Was your decision to go with the Sport Package purely based on aesthetics? I have till the end of January to change my order if I want. Supposed to take delivery mid-march.

One month down; two to go. This has already been a long Winter on many levels. ;( Time to watch the videos for the eleventy-oneth time.

Congrats on the order...I love Monza but think your combo will look excellent. I have never seen the light gray interior. All my Audi's have always been black with aluminum or black with piano. Good luck with the wait!

Good luck waiting!! I ordered mine in Sep., got it just before Thanksgiving. '11 A5 Prestige, black/linen beige interior. It's hard waiting, but what is more difficult is not driving it in crappy weather. So today was one day I just had to take it for a drive here in West Michigan. Snowed the last couple days, roads all snow covered and the car handled great. AWD is awesome, and the factory tires performed well in these road conditions.
You are going to love this car!!

the longest month
I ordered my A5 Nov. 21st and my dealer says I am on track for delivery during the 2nd week of Feb. Anyone have an idea when my build date should be and when it should ship from port. I don't want to bother them, but if the info is available, I need to track it. The wait is killing me!
Ordered: 2011 A5 Premium plus, brilliant black w. black int.
Driving: 2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe, silver

Your salesperson should be able to send you a screen snapshot of status of your order. I ordered mine on Nov 2 and it went to production 12/16 and will be ship loaded on 1/24. It should be at the dealer on 2/16. I send an email to my sales guy at the beginning of each month to check on status.

I think Monza is a great color as well. I actually had second thoughts about the light grey interior (two kids) and went back to the black. Would've gone with cinnamon if given it were a choice...

My salesman just informed me that my A5 is shipborne and due into port in RI on Valentine's day - to me a week thereafter (Feb 21st - President's day). Wow, this will be a very rapid turnaround considering my order was actually placed Dec 17th!!

shipping schedule
I think you are off on your time line. According to the Audi shipping schedule, the Pegasus Highway is not scheduled to leave port until Feb 3 or 4 and scheduled to arrive in R.I. on Feb. 14. Here's the link to the schedule. http://www.pwl.de/static/schedules/vwl_hb.pdf My dealer told me to expect delivery the week of Feb 7th and my ship is leaving tomorrow.
