Audi A5 - anyone seen one yet?

As per title - has anyone seen an A5 or S5 either on the road or at dealers yet? I'm waiting on a local dealer to tell me when they expect to see them. I thought it was launched in the US some months ago?

I was in hingham in January and they had several on the showroom floor for sale .

Thanks. They are now starting to trickle into dealers here in Texas. Very few S5s - mostly demos, with a 4-6 month wait for orders. Even 3.2s are a 4 month wait. They look a bit pricey when compared to a new or nearly new BMW 335i, which is faster, but more common and less good looking.

I think I've seen one in the NY area and see them occassionally in the UK. Very nice looking car, great stance, rear deck that doesn't get done justice by the photos, small LED-like running lights about the headlights.

I still haven't seen any - must be a supply problem here, but one local dealer does have 4 new ones on their website. Another local dealer has none, but is asking $1k refundable deposit to place an order, no obligation. 4 month wait still. Tempting, but I am worried that with 265bhp it will not be a significant step up in performance from my MkV GTi.

Seen a few S5s around, no A5s though.

I have seen a black S5 in my area. It is always following a black Enzo.
