Heard from the dealer last week, he said my RS6 should be at the dealership by December 16th and I should be able to take delvery around the 18th or 19th. He explained that "with a car of this type we will need a few days to make sure everything is as it should be". I'm thinking they all want a turn driving it *s*. The even better news is my oldest son is returning from England earlier than expected, 10 December instead of next March, so all things considered it should be a great holiday...if I can keep the keys hidden from my oldest that is....
