Anyone else notice that its a Prestige ($56780) + 19" sport ($1500) and side assist ($500)

No Innovation or LED pkgs, yet it has LED headlights? (sticker says it has Xenon's)


What gives? Guess whoever ends up buying that demo is going to score some free LED's.



Also, I thought the options were supposed to be priced the same as the A7? Seems like they are for the most part but I'm surprised the 19" Sport package is $1500 vs $1000.

Guess the 20" package we ordered will be $2000 instead of $1500.

20" Sport Package = $2300 MSRP. Also, I think those are the xenons that come on the Prestige trim level---they include LED DRLs with cornering lights (I believe you can just make out the rounded xenon lens at the top row corner. Seems the xenon/LED DRL combo on the C7 appears closer to the full LED setup compared with either the A7 or A8 non-full LEDs.

Uh, nope. That white demo car on page 1 definitely has the LED headlights.


The DRL (unlike other Audi models) is a solid strip of LED's on the bottom edge, as shown below.

The bigger LED's in the middle are the actual driving beams.


The xenon's are in the last pic...


(Yeah, I saw the $2300(!!!) after posting)

LED's w/ LED DRL lit...



Xenon's w/ LED DRL

Yeah, I think you're right upon further reflection. Anyhow, good luck w/the new C7!!!

Default sport wheels?

They look like they belong on a buick. Seriously Audi?

We ordered ours with the 20" wheels. Love the R8 look of them. They look great IMO.

Yeah perfect way to put it. they aren't horrible. Just not sporty at all. Like a base model car.

How do you know what they look like? I'm assuming they are the press release 2 tone 20's but how can we know for sure? Especially since audi pulled a fast one on us an brought out these boring Conservative flat 19's. Give me some concavity. Some dimension. Anything else.

There is nothing to assume. The press release wheels are the ones. There is no other 20" 10-spoke V, partly polished/anthracite wheels. They are labeled exactly the same on the US order guide as they are in the Euro brochures.


Not sure why you're so surprised about the 19's. You can see all the pictures in the Euro materials.



As far as why they're so ugly? Simple, so no one buys them.
