I personally would say 2019 at best...
RS4 is not even announced yet and by all stories it was supposed to release relatively early...which turned out BS...

I was originally planning to buy the new RS4, but a) was super disappointed with the A4 interior and b) no RS4 annoucement in sight, decided to order RS6 instead... :D

Car tax d day a shocker but on a £100k car a rounding error.... I am more thinking it is just another month closer to C8.

My build date went from mid Jan 2017 to 05 December 2016 this morning and now suddenly changed to "Your car has joined the production line". I hope that makes it sooner but not clear as it doesn't now show a date.

Does this mean the car is spec is locked or the build date moved forward?

So mine today arrived in the UK.

That is against a "Build date" of 7 November. 11 days build to arrival.

I hope to collect it on Friday or Saturday but maybe that is optimistic.

I have been doing my 300 mile weekly commute in a Land Rover Defender for 6 weeks now since selling the 911 and Q7 so the RS6 cannot get here fast enough.....
