Default Adjustable dampers vs. 1BE suspension ?

So... With the projected 3-way adjustable shock system for the new A4, will they still offer the 1BE sport suspension? Both options might just be the best of all possible worlds, Dr. Pangloss!

Default Maybe I'm reading the literature wrong...

but won't dynamic suspension be standard on all B8 A4s? Therefore the adjustable shocks would be standard. At least that's the way I read it. The only option would be if you have NAV you also get the ability to configure a custom drive select profile.

Or do they mean "dynamic" in the sense that their suspension is more dynamic than a KIA's?<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/news/07/b8-a4-in-depth/at-a-glance/">https://www.audiworld.com/news/07/b8-a4-in-depth/at-a-glance/</a</li></ul>

I think Drive Select is an option, not standard.

Default But do you think...

...Audi would drop the 1BE sport suspension because of the new system?
