Default Re: Actually they are here for the press to test. 4-5 are to be sent to SoCal for the magazines.

This is what i have heard anyway and i know the lot where they will be stored. The extra wheels and tires have already arrived.

Default I hope Audi prepares them well for the magazine tests

In other words Audi better break them in or at least have over 1,000 miles when the magazines test them.

I have a hunch most of these will end up in Vegas. Just something I heard.

Default not an uncommon thing.

costs around 20,000 to do it, but it does happen.
