2007 A6 Audi False Advertising, forming a lawsuit...............
These are advertised on the 2007 Audi A6 catalog but they are no longer available on the 2007 A6 3.2 Sedans.
#1. the PULL OUT DRAWERS as part of the storage package included in the Convenience Package on 3.2 as described on the 2007 A6 catalog was replaced with just a pair of FLIP DOWN DOORS with virtually no storage capabilities at all.

#2. On the Standard Equipment list on the 2007 A6 catalog listed "Four tie-down eyelets and flexible luggage net in trunk" as standard feature on A6 FrontTrak, which the cargo net is not in my A6.

Arguements:
The Storage Pack is listed on the window sticker of my car, and Window Sticker to consumers are a contract or list of equipment promised by Audi NA and "Storage Package" is listed as the drawer under the front seats as in the 2007 A6 catalog.

I am expecting the cargo net as well as listed as standard on the Audi brochure. And by the time I am writing this post here, Audi has no supplementary information to their brochures clarifying these changes. As a consumer, Audi website and current catalog should have all the up to date information about their products.
What Audi say:
I have emailed and called Audi and spoke to 2 different customer service specialists at Audi NA. They insist they have changed the production and these 2 parts are not included on 2007 A6 anymore.
They insist they cannot do anything and the disclaimer on the back of their catalog protects them from these negliences.
Conclusions:
I just want to get what I have promised to get and paid for in a timely fashion. And I feel this is unfair to all 2007 A6 (at least on 3.2 models) owners. And Audi customer service is worst in its class. And these could be consider false advertising and fail to deliver what Audi promised on the window sticker.

Re: 2007 A6 Audi False Advertising, forming a lawsuit...............
Aside what the other two posters said about your post, we drove an '06, but bought an '07. Thought the drawers were useful, due to the small glove box. Didn't even check that until just now. Just assumed they were there. That blows. I am sure there is after-market solution that is better anyway.

Running changes are normal for most companies, esp Audi and VW
Hey wait, my 2007 GTI manual says my cruise control is a separate stalk, but WAIT! It's actually incorporated into the TURN SIGNAL LEVER!
I better sue! I WANT THAT STALK!!
Relax. If you really want those drawers, I'm sure the parts dept can hook you up. As for the cargo net, I'm sure you could get one of those too.

Did you buy the car knowing this?
Even if you ordered it and it came in different than what you were expecting you have the option of not taking delivery. If it was on the lot, what's on the car trumps what's in the brochure and you can decide on the spot if the car is equipped the way you want it.
