I'm confused too now. I expecting mine to arrive in a few weeks too. I thought that those 6 arm style wheels came as standard. Oh for f***'s sake. I wish Audi would stick to one story!! I find their web site so misleading.

Default Don't know whether you know this already...

...but it sounds like the Staccato trim is nolonger standard on the T Sport either.

A guy at work has just ordered a 1.8T and they rang him up to tell him that trim was no longer available! "Just plain black now" were the guys words.

True, much more sensible interior on the one I saw today. Better seats. Trim is down to personal taste however....<p>Ed Owen

Default It's OK Ed, looked on car builder...

Must say, not keen on new interior fabric, personally. Just going of the pics of course, might look better in the real-life.

I think the current A3 interior is a bit dull, with all that grey about, but the staccato adds a bit of life to it. The new cloth looks good quality and quite shiny, but not lively or sporty.

Each to their own though.

Default Many mistakes on that car builder...

I did not know that the S3 had 180bhp and 5 gears...
Weel, if you go through the technical Spec almost everything is wrong. In addition the exterior colours have nothing to do with the actual colours. I guess someone was in a hurry when preparing the site...

Nikos.
