it must be a matter of good timing and/or more money that you can do both.

here in the USA i was first in line for an RS4. i went to geneva to find out it would be watered down and arrive april/may 2006.

then i found out the R9 would go into production only a few more months after the USA-bound RS4. i couldn't justify holding on to my 4 year old TT so much longer only to buy an RS4 that i would drive for maybe a year before i bought my R9. since i am a one car guy and can't afford both i went for a 2006 S4.

i know the US bound R9 probably won't arrive until late CY 2007. making that about 20 months from now, but i can certainly live with my :s4addict:

lucky you....i guess NZ gets its cars before the USA? :eye:
