2015 Audi Q5 3.0T, 2018 C43 Coupe
That thing looks amaze-*****!

I struggled with a self-debate about getting that colour when I placed my order...but ultimately decided against it. Mostly because I generally prefer the look of black cars...and so went with black. I told myself that at some point I might wrap the car matte, but who knows if I'll follow through with that.

I'm hoping to get my call from the dealer soon. Early last week I was told it was loaded on a train in Halifax making it's way to Alberta. Fingers crossed I can get it next week, but hoping the PDI doesn't take a week like yours will.

Thanks, I'm extremely happy with how it looks. I can't wait to see this thing in person when I'm taking delivery.
And congrats! Black is always a great choice - if you do a matte PPF on it, I can imagine it looking something like the designo Graphite Grey Magno paint.

Post pics when you do take delivery!

Which dealership in LA did you get 10% off at if you don't mind me asking? I'm in the market for a magno grey and can't find one to my liking so I might have to custom order. Also congrats OP!

You guys that have taken delivery are teasing me. My build has locked for the 21st, ordered in late August. I am looking at just before Christmas for delivery, barring any unforseen issues. Pics will come.

Yes, my build date is locked for the 21st. And with the timing my sales manager has seen for other cars cars coming from Germany could well work. Like I said, barring any unforeseen circumstance.

Are you located East or West? Near coast?
I am in Arizona so it comes in through Long Beach facility.

Would love to get my car as early as you.

Lubbock, in northwest Texas. I was told that the ship would dock in New Orleans, then trucked up. I am willing to bet your dealer gave you a worst case date. I may be setting on a bit of an optimistic date, but my dealer was going by another the timing on another C43 coupe that was a bit ahead of mine.

18' C43 cab
Placed my order for a C43 cab yesterday. Got 10% off MSRP. I hope that's a good deal as I'll be a bit pissed if I keep reading of people here getting better than that.

Hi NYCSoil. I just noticed your post above as I scour the C43 forum daily waiting for mine to arrive! I note the HUD issue. So did you get HUD in the end? I initially ordered my c43 sedan here in canada in august and about oct they said HUD not available even though the HUD remains an option on their website till now. I eventually went on to re order the c43 WITH HUD last month. Here is hoping it is available by the time they want to produce my car.

Hey that's really odd as I ordered mine in Toronto in September and this issue was never mentioned at all. My coupe is fully upgraded and is on the way here on a boat as we speak.
