On order since April: Audi A5 S-line 6 speed Masino Red

No build date yet. Dealers other A5 orders all automatics for september and october delivery have build dates. Any ideas why this is?

Thanks!!!

No allocation. I am the only one at the dealership interested in an Audi A5 Manual since I placed the order in August of 2007. WTF!

They told me Audi expected more allocations for manual A5's July 15th

since i placed my order in august of 2007... my dealership has yet to get an allocation for a manual shift a5... what is with this? (it says above april, but thats why my dealership put the car into the system) I have had first dibs on the audi since august of 2007..

They take care of the Syracuse NY (Central NY) Region. Perhaps all the cars are being allocated to NYC and New Jersey where people have more $ Its a smaller dealership with 15 other dealerships in one big auto mall. They do have 4 sales reps. They said they would start talking with the district to get me a car.

Audi was like... oh wait. i can sell manuals to europe for so much more money than the states... (which is true) But if they want to grab a market in the USA, they need to at least have cars available.

From what they told me they have no control over if they get allotments for Manual over Automatic. They are calling the region manager to complain. They have plenty of orders now. At least I am first line line for a 6sp
