"expensive option"....sheesh, I will go for the drive select if it is less than $1K.

But it will probably be part of a $3K package...I can't swing that kind of money for that option.

So the A5/S5 will, in fact, eventually get the Quattro Torque Vectoring (QTV) system

Just not right now, though.

I am guessing that the A5/S5 will get the QTV (QTV being Quattro Torque Vectoring, of course) system later on in MY2008 when the B8 A4 comes out.

Or, will the A5/S5 get QTV for MY2009 right from the start (right from the start meaning right from the start of MY2009 production, of course)?

Not to mention an outrageous Euro exchange rate. :-(

hmmm....do these come with the Halidex center diff or is it possible to have a 4:1 with drive select

as well???

That could be very fun in deed....

Buy a new 2008.5 3.0TDI w/ quattro/drive select and pop in a 4:1 center diff, slap a set of coilovers on (unless DRC is available...), upgraded brakes, upgraded control arms...

BAM! all the 3100lb A4 you're gonna need! and 35-42MPG to go with it!
