I'm betting you see it sooner, they are pretty reserved with the dates according to my dealer - she said they typically get them approx 2 weeks earlier than the estimate. Apparently they build in a buffer in case of storms, engine trouble, backups at port, etc.

My dealer sent me a link today. The link gives details about the boat that my car is on and another link to a live map showing where the boat is.

My S4 is on a boat which is currently sailing down the English Channel (left Bremen yesterday). According to the itinerary, it's due to arrive in Brunswick, NJ on 10/22. The official word from Audi is still week of 11/9 at the dealer, but it looks like it'll beat that date by at least a week.
Currently, it looks like it's going to stop in Brixham, UK on it's way.

Your salesman knows the name of the boat it's on? Is that in their system?

I'm not seeing a 'Brunswick' NJ, only a New Brunswick. I think the 'Brunswick' on the ships destination is for Brunswick Georgia 
Thanks for the link, I'll keep track of my car down to the minute now!

Captain Y beat me to it. I heard from our salesman today as well - I'm on the same boat, the beautiful Grand Legacy. Jason has been a really good guy to deal with so far - just the right amount of updates without being to bothersome. He told me this morning that he's got 4 other S4s inbound on that same shipment. With me and Captain Y that leaves 3 unaccounted for. Anyone? Bueller?
Only a couple more weeks now...
BTW, I loved reading the QuattroWorld review because they drove my exact car. I'm still hoping to be the first DSB owner on the forums.

I haven't gotten any updates from my sales guy. Any information I have is because *I* emailed him and waited for a response. I mean, I like my sales person, but I wish I had a bit more info ...

Probably the same boat.
I didn't ask Jason how he knew which boat it was on, but yours will surely be on the same one. A lot of us are going to be very happy in a couple of weeks. Can't wait.
