So, the 2011 MY runs 18 months??? 2009s will be two years old in about 3 months (hence the $4500 marketing support for remaining ones) and 2010s will suffer, too. It's interesting to say the least. Seems like a good time to be in the used market. AND, there are rumors of a 4-5% price bump on the 2011s.
The 2005.5 S4 was a complete redesign. They went to the newer B7 body design and a different engine mid-year. Pissed a lot of people off. Messed up the market a ton too for Audi. I leased a 05.5 S4 for a screaming deal that year. It was a bit of a pain to sell too being a mid year model release.

Hopefully the 11 M3 wont have anything drastic changewise... Could spell trouble for us owners in resell market.
