Ladies and gents, I have an RS6 on order, build confirmed w/c 8th September so looking at October delivery. As has been said elsewhere what has been driven cannot been undriven and the 991 beetle is luring me.

The car's spec below, this is locked now.

Black valcona leather
Alu Pack
Dynamic pack plus
21" wheels in titanium
Sports exhaust
Front and rear heated seats
Privacy glass with double glazing
Alcantara headlining with contrast stitching (rock grey)
Rear Sun blinds
Reversible boot lining
Load area fixing

Homelink
Parking advanced with top view
ACC/brake guard/side assist/lane assist
Power door closure
Advanced key with hands free
Audi connect high

This is one of six Sepang Blue cars being built for the UK (excluding exclusive orders).

If anyone is interested in taking this order off my hands please drop me a pm. Serious enquiries only please.

Do we know why ? I understand the issue with the ceramic brakes, but to physically remove the car from the configurator is pretty serious, no ?

I don't think it's sold out at all but something else Audi isn't telling us, but maybe you know better.

Already announced - but not according to Audi UK... :roll:

viewtopic.php?f=76&t=109365

Email echange with Audi today and I quote "as Audi have not announced any new model or ordering guide this is not possible" (in reference to cancelling my order today).

It is incredibly sad when Audi UK can't just be upfront and honest with customers instead of those customers having to glean their information from various other souces such as forums, autocar, and the manufacturers own website in their home country.

Suggest Audi UK work on communication links with Audi Germany.

That response from Audi UK is amazingly <beep>.

I was thinking about calling them myself and asking where I stand given that I've not got a build date on my order (told probably Q1 2015 now) and it seems the factory are swapping over already to supply facelift models for Q4 this year... So will I get FL car or not...

Given what they told you, I may as well go ask the local bum in the park and get a more sensible answer.
