Like so many others I have placed my order for a RS4 today (Daytona over black).
This will be my first Audi! Weird thing is I was supposedly something like sixth on the list. Seems kind of strange that they would put my order in, when there are five in front of me. What is Audi's usual practice with these things, at what point in the process would you expect the dealers would find out what their allocations are?
Congrats,
I was also six or so on my dealer's list (for my RS 6), got the car fine. Dealers will always find a way to sell you a car, even if they get it from another dealer.

Congrats, indeed. I put a deposit down a short while ago, 7th on the list, but my dealer is saying the ordering is not open yet, so he says he's very surprised anyone is actually getting orders in. Did you get a factory order confirmation number, or some such?
He also claims I could be in the initial allotment, though I can't how this is possible. Does anyone know how many cars per month a typical dealer would be getting (or whatever interval is appropriate)?
What options & colors did you chose from, my dealer says there is no info yet on this.
Again, congrats, and pardon the little show of anxiety on my part your news has prompted.
Cheers,
JB
Last Monday my dealer emailed me the final order guide. He placed my order into the system and emailed me a copy of the commission/order number afterwards.
Everyone else from all of the different Audi boards I have been following seemed to post at the same time that their dealers had called them to put their order in as well. Check out all the threads here and on audiworld.
Thanks very much for the info - I'm trying to get clarification from my dealer now, though he still claims ordering is not open. Wonder if different dealers get different ordering schedules, or something.
Guys,
Champion has called me several times in the past two weeks. Each dealer (based on standing within the network) will get dealer cars that they can allocate to customers or use for marketing (few will go this route im sure). These dealer cars are the ones that people are talking about - but they are ordered by the dealer - not customers. If you are a really good customer (buying several cars a year) then you get on this list. Otherwise you go on general allocation (again based on units sold to date). The ordered cars will fall about a month behind the initial dealer cars. So we are going to see people getting cars in the US in stages. There will be a few that show up in May (right after the Q7) and then allocations will start trickling in around end of June.
Make sure you get your name on the S8 list as well.

I guess I am one of the lucky ones then. My dealer supposedly sold the second most RS6's in the country and I was 1st on their list. They told me my car was the first one in the order bank.
As far as May for the car, I am not sure about that. I think the deliveries of the Q7 and RS4 will run concurrently in @ Mid-June.
That's consistent with what my dealer just told me.
As I understand it, the factory has not started processing orders yet, but will likely do so next week at which point information about production dates should be forthcoming I presume. Do any of you have production dates assigned yet, by any chance?
I just got a confirmation with a ETA date this morning: May 22nd. My order got matched here in the US as a "market intro" order.
My order is for daytona grey with black interior and CF trim, by the way.
No production date yet, but then I haven't asked yet. I will be going to pick up another car in the next couple of weeks and will ask when I am there.Originally posted by johnw3d

Thanks for the update and congrats also on the confirmation. I'm pressing my dealer now for more info.
Mine's an Alvus Silver, black interior, CF trim.
Mine is the same as johnw3d. Talked to the dealer yesterday. No date confirmation although "early June" is being tossed about quite a bit...
I have a feeling my May 22nd may really be early June, too. :-)Originally posted by S4Aero

Just got an email from my dealer that my order is now showing May 1st! First time that he had emailed me any information regarding estimated delivery date. Anyone else heard a date that early? I am skeptically optimistic.
I had been told by another dealer that the orders were not yet being picked up by the factory, this would happen sometime next week or so. I can't get a straight answer out of mine, he says he should know for sure sometime in April. Does that sound right?
Firewired, do you know what your current Order Status code is? Mine was "I.S. Order Bank (05)" when it went into the system.
Hey guys, Well I'm on waiting list to be a first time Audi owner and I suppose I've been waiting to do it right (for me anyway, cause I'm not normal) so my RS4 is also in the "I.S. Order Bank (05)" like yours John. Let's all keep each other up to date so we can try to calculate when the QuattroMonsters will be here. Whenever I get an update i'll post it. I ordered the Mugello (Dark) Blue pearl effect.. Being Mr. Instant Gratification, it's gonna be a long wait..
