Default B8 A4 feature/options list... (first srs post?)

More loaded than an A5!

Multimedia Interface (MMI)
Audi Drive Select (which is awesome)
Audi Dynamic Steering
Audi Side Assist
Audi Lane Assist
Audi Music Interface (through MMI)
Adaptive Cruise Control
Bluetooth
B&O sound system
40:60 quattro split
adaptive bi-xenons
smart key
LED DRL's
more sporting Tiptronic as well as new 6-speed

Lower weight (1.8T weighs 3100lbs!) in a better balanced chassis...

<a href="http://www.fourtitude.com/news/publish/Audi_News/article_3389.shtml">Full press release</a>

Am I missing something?

I'm very excited about this car. The initial reaction in the B7 forum worries me.

Default If the weight thing is true, and we get the 2.0t then that will be phenominal...

Because that would be like a 400-500lb weight difference. Bringing back the 1.8t in american markets would just be *** backwards, because the 2.0t is so widespread through VAG.

Default Re: you can always buy out your AOA lease. just call them for a quote

You will then have to sell that car privately. Last I checked a few years ago they just provided the quote via an automated phone system. That might not make sense financially though.

Default Look at it this way...

You miss the first year or two while others are ironing out the bugs. Not such a bad thing, no?
