I bet yours is already a 2015 since yours is RHD in Australia/New South Wales and Japan has 2015 IS available earlier than North America.
Thanks for the info Andy - oddly mine is definitely dark grey metallic but without the recessed mouse controller so it's probably a bit different to the US market variants lol

Was hoping it would be MY15 but looking at my paperwork it says 2014, no MYxx stated, so i'll just assume it's a 2014 model. It's fine, definitely happy with the car but I do hope there is an update for the nav because it is like windows95 compared to audi's MMI or BMW's idrive!

Nice, grats! And amazing finance too, I thought I got a decent deal at 6.2% lol
But then again, reading this american forum with people getting 0.9% really makes AU look silly, cars seem so affordable there!

Was it easy choosing the right colour? The right side of my brain was battling my left, started with white then to black, grey, blue and titanium but ended up with the white - couldn't ignore the contrast with the wheels/red interior lol

If only the stock rims were 1inch bigger though!

I am also hoping I get an update for the nav in the first service

It definitely was! Love that atomic silver, you'll be the only one with it. Only a week to wait, it'll be here in no time

If you are asking me, yes I have. Not the best deal but certainly better than the other dealers I contacted.

Post some pics of yours when you pick it up, can't wait to see it!

So what deal were you able to get? You were complaining before about 1k over invoice - were you able to do much better??
