Rampant speculation on my part...........
Audi seems to change option packages drastically nearly every year.
Often, the first model year of the base models of a line has the most content, to draw interest to the new line, and Audi then trims things as the years go by.
Personally, I think the "trimming" of the 2.0T content is tied directly to the fact that the performance margin between the 2.0 and 3.2 is so small that Audi needs to better differentiate between the 2 models to keep the more expensive (and profitable) V6 sales up.
There was a much larger (though that is subjective) disparity between the real world driving experiences of the 3.0 and 1.8 than there is between the 3.2 and 2.0.

Re: No more heated rear seat and memory seat/mirrors as of 2007 MY for the 2.0T!
And if this:
2.0T models receive 4-spoke leather multi-function steering wheels
is the one I have seen pictures of, it is ugly as hell.
