Were the LED headlight (option PX2) a separate line item or were they included in the Prestige (WPT). If not, do you know if the LED headlights are included in the Innovation (WPD) package?

Thanks!

The Prestige package comes with HID headlights by default.
I added the LED headlight option for $1400 I believe.
It is included in the Inovation package.
I'm really glad I got it now. It looks great at night and as the
commercial claims it lights your way like daylight.
These suckers are bright. I pity the oncomimg if the brights are on.

2013REDA7,

Thanks. Great looking car! Building my order this week with dealer:
-Dakota Gray/Beige with dark carpet/Ash natural brown wood
-Prestige
-Driver Assist (life saver for me in my current E350, I drive 40K/yr and the adaptive cruse is worth it)
-LED headlights
-3 seats for rear
-19" sport (undecided) I like the sport look but I am concerned with a rough ride. That is why I left BMW for MB. Any thoughts on the ride difference? I know the "summer performance tires" are stiffer but can't get to test drive one. Any thoughts? BTW, how long did it take you to get the car?

Again, great looking car.

Thank you Velocity-man!
The wheels/tires and interior color were the items I debated most about.
I have no regrets getting the beige interior, beautiful.
I chose 19" wheels because after much test driving there no doubt they ride a lot smoother and perform the same in my opinion.
Plus I wanted all season tires so I would not have to change them every season.
It just so happens the Presige comes with this combo so I'm happy.
Also, our roads here would be hard on 20s. I will likely change to a more sporty looking wheel later on but they will also be 19".
I went thru that "dropped agressive" phase with my Lexus but feel Audi did such a sweet job on the A7 there no real need.
I finally got my windows tinted 35% last night and will try to get some pics today.
My order went into the Audi system June 12 and my car arrived here August 3.
It went into production June 21 and went on a boat a week later I found out. Much quicker than estimated.
Please post pics when you get your car. Your choices will look awesome!
The 3 seat back would have been a great option I missed.
We had 106 degF here yesterday and the beige interior along with the air cooled seats made a world of difference from my last car.

Nice car! Love the color! I have LED and Innovation with 20 inch sport and love all the options! I also have the crome tops on the door handles with the pocket key.

My digital camera is appearantly in hiding so I had to make due with my Ipad camera.
You will also have to pardon my crappy backdrop but I was looking for a blacktop surface to minimize color distortion.
Here are pics after tinting my windows with 3M 35% all around except wind shield.
It's amazing the difference the window tint makes for heat reduction not to mention the improvement in looks.

I think the A7 looks very different in its different colors. Can't quite put my finger on it and I'm not saying it looks better in some colors versus others - just different. 2013REDA7's car looks much different than mine, maybe it's the way the red color of the tail lights blend more with the body color. The body lines seem to flow more than they do when there are contrasting colors. And a white one looks so much different than black or silver. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about that. I like them all, but I'm still partial to my own.

I agree, every color does seem to change the shape.
I was torn between the moonlight blue the garnet red.
Since I'm **** about a clean car I figured the moonlight blue would kill me
