My dealer has been excellent. Only bothers me when he has something to say. Calls me back immediately if I have a query. No one could have foreseen problems with pigments, but now orders are back on track. Everyone who orders an RS3 will get one. I specced a VW Golf R for comparison purposes, the price without sports seats was close to £41K. My RS3 is about £42K all in. Considering the engine and gearbox combination, i don't think it is too expensive.
Very much looking forward to my blast to Italy in late July.

A friend of mine ordered a A3 s-line and has to wait like 8 months because of all the metallic paint troubles so i guess you are lucky! The prices are super in the UK, here in Holland a RS3 will cost you around 60k euro without options.
I would like a RS3 in java green or sepang blue as seen here http://www.vag-tips.nl/a-series/a3

According to what I had been told the paint problems will only effect the UK's supply of cars near the end of this year.
