Arrgh...so the S5 won't be available in the US until MAY 2008? Not so good since my lease is up in Dec. So they debut the S5 in the beginning of MArch, and then not available in the US for 14 months? WTF?

Not sure I want to drive my beater truck for 5 months. Damn.

I guess a CPO RS4 is looking better every day.

Damn you Audi. Yeah, its "unprecedented" to debut the standard and "S" versions together all right...what they don't stress is that it doesn't matter, because you can't get one anyway.

Sorry, just venting.

And, is the automatic going to be the best one in the world by far, DSG 7-speed? Or, is it going to be one of the worst automatics in the world, tiptronic 6-speed?

Or at least they don't take us very seriously. All the hype about launching simultaneously and then this. Hope Audiworld is mistaken, but I can't remember the last time that they reported bad intel. Gently used RS4 looks like the car to get...

The manual S5 will launch simultaneously with the manual A5 in November, with the auto S5 coming 6 months later in May 08.

After waiting,watching and hoping all this time you stick it to us again.If there is no S5 in 2007 then you should have stated this from the start,instead of yanking our chains.

they will hardly sell any here configured like that

TT lease expires in October, and the S5 was looking as if it was going to time out just right. Now I'm in your same boat - most likely searching for a CPO RS4 (not that that's a bad option either).

Just an FYI.

Seems like Audi doesn't want to be a big player in the U.S. Or at least they don't take us very seriously. All the hype about launching simultaneously and then this.
