I can't imagine it would be sooner than Q4 as the S4 lead time is 6 months. Sounds like a nice spec you have, I adore that colour as well. I really want to drive one to compare the power delivery of the S and RS4. If you want to sell in 3 years let me know as I'd be able to afford it then!

I dont have a clue how car production works but given that our boxster was launched in march at Geneva (with the RS4), I ordered it to my spec in April (jumping the Q a little) and having on my drive in late may (6 weeks after order) yet cayennes (for some reason) are on 5/6 mths lead !

Silver seats and panoramic roof. I'm looking forward to seeing these.
My biz partner has a panoramic roof on his 3.2 A3, I fecking love it but he's getting rid of it as every time he puts his family into it longer than 20mins, they vomit (wife and 6 month old girl). He can't figure it out, the panoramic roof is the only thing he can put it down to... I say ditch the wife and baby, buy a single seater.

Sounds like the obvious answer!

I sort of understand the baby if pointing upwards in baby seat looking out of it as the world goes by but is the mrs doing on the backseat looking upwards too

Had it on my current and previous BMW (and a bigger version on current Porsche and previous TT

) and I just love the extra light that it lets in even if I don't even open it that much. However anything to let more V8 noise in will mean I may open this one more!

Yeah I love it, I tell him to get rid of the kid and wife.

Curious about the matt brushed alu trim. You don't like the carbon-fibre?

Never been a fan, particularly if it looks fake!
