Except for the color, your specs sound the same as my 2013 I picked up at the end of January. I'm enjoying the ride. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours!

That's reassuring JGA. I haven't seen that color in the flesh and am taking a chance on it. My pickup is delayed till tomorrow. I'll post some pics soon.

Well here's the update. The dealer that was supposed to send the car to my dealer sold it to someone else! My dealer was of course super apologetic. I guess it was meant to be.

We managed to locate an identical spec car at another dealership and my dealer is having it picked up tomorrow with delivery on Thursday. The only differences are that it's Monsoon Gray with Black interior. As I can't wait for a special order I think I'll be ok with it. The spec is: Premium Plus Package, Audi MMI Navigation Plus Package, Sport Interior Package, Wheels: 8.0J x 19" 5-Double-Spoke-Design

Ugh, that sucks. Hopefully you're better off with the Monsoon (maybe you'll see a Lava at some point and hate it), sometimes that sort of stuff seems to happen for a reason. Enjoy it regardless, even if it wasn't your first choice.

Nice package. I just picked mine up a week ago, very similar except no sport package.

By the way when I asked my sale man about the sport seat that you can adjust the thigh support. He said, the car did not come with that. I guess this is the sport package?

The sports seats have adjustable thigh support. The center front piece slides fore and aft a little bit. There's a plastic lever underneath the front edge to release it. If you don't have this you didn't get the sports seats! Do you have paddle shifters?
