I finally had the chance to get down to Stevens Creek Audi in San Jose to test drive a 2.0T yesterday. The base models they had in stock helped me realize why I should be patient and wait for the S Line, no matter how long it takes. The interior was nice and comfy, but the grey headliner looks totally out of place on a car with black leather interior, so the black headliner on the S Line will take care of that. The base seats were somewhat supportive, but I'm confident that the S Line seats with sport side bolsters and alcantara inserts will be incredible! The exterior with standard ride height looked pretty boring, but I know the more aggressive touches on the S Line kit, topped off with a deep drop on coilovers and aftermarket wheels will look awesome! The car drove very smooth, with no noticeable vibration at idle that I experienced when I test drove a B7. The added power from the new engine was enough to set me back in my seat on hard acceleration. Tiptronic shifting manually made the drive even more fun and I can only imagine how much better it will be with the paddle shifters.

My salesman might have been a little optomistic, but he said his general manager heard that they MIGHT release S Lines for production in the mid-September allocation. I'm not holding my breath, but damn I can't wait!

I concur with the statement that waiting for the S-Line package is a "must."

anyone know what the ETA's for the S-line models are?

Blake P

No official ETA, only speculation

I checked out what Steven's Creek Audi had to offer since I intended on ordering a MT B8 Avant when they became available. I went and checked out my options and found a used '08 B7 Avant S-Line that I bought this weekend! It was used with only 4700 miles on it along with the Bluetooth and iPod. I couldn't pass it up since I would be saving close to $15k over waiting for the B8...

...a used, outdated B7 has already lost so much in depreciation. As long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters! Congratulations.

I went with the 19" sport package -- and I do believe the seats are the sports seats and the same wheels as the SLINE, but I was able to get WHITE exterior, Cardamom with the dark wook interior -- which, for me, is what I wanted, since I could not get red leather!

The Sline, I am certain, however, will be very nice -- I did not want the SLINE color combo however, so I ended up with SLINE "lite."

Also ordered the Audi accessory (they now have a book) of the chrome tips.

The only other thing I'd add is the accessory front lip spoiler with CF blade. I was bummed to find out it doesn't fit the S Line front bumper, but I'll probably just add a CF splitter to the bottom of my bumper instead.

It should be available across all trims. Prestige-only is BS.
