I thank Prius owners for helping to offset my spectacularly high carbon footprint.

Where is your town? I live in the heart of Silicon Valley and every other car is a Prius and every fifth car is a Tesla.
Some could be the same car but not all - different colors. I'll have to be more observant and check their license plates. I'm not far from Greenwich, Darien and New Canaan CT. Lots of nice cars around.

Any chance that was you in a Phantom Black this past Saturday morning on I-84 outside Hartford?

I think there will be a disproportionately high number of S6s in the Northeast, especially MA, CT, NY, NJ. This tends to be a very affluent part of the country as a whole and the Northeast is a strong Audi foothold due to the weather.

Audi just isn't as popular in SoFlo or SoCal; arguably the two car mecca regions of the country. BMW and Merc dominate these regions. I know from the M3 forums. M3s are much rarer in the Northeast. They tend to be a "second car" up here since they are a high power RWD vehicle. Much more common in SoFlo and SoCal.

Still love the fact that the S6 is such a rare car. There are more Toyota Camrys sitting on one dealer lot in some dinky town than there are S6s in an entire state. My only problem is that I don't have mine yet!!! Scheduled to arrive in port in 2 days. Anyone know how long, on average, it takes to get to the dealer once it is in port?

Mine must have gone pretty much straight from the ship to the dealer as soon as it docked.

Spotted my first S6 yesterday in Beachwood (Cleveland). It was white with 20's. First one I've seen since purchasing mine in June. Also spotted one S7 a couple of weeks ago. Not too many around NE Ohio.

3-4 here in Northern VA, with maybe 3 of those being near Audi of Chantilly, and the 4th at a Costco up the road.

No, but that's my color.

I'm in South Fl, and yes, the S6 is not as common here as in the northeast, but I am noticing that Audi in general has increased it's presence here in the past few years. A lot of my friends own BMW's but are seriously looking at Audi for a number of reasons. Audi is definitely changing peoples perceptions about luxury performance vehicles.

I was in Miami a few months ago and I saw a S5, S7 and S8 in the same parking lot. That was the first S7 I had seen.
