Default ORDERED MINE: Garnet Red DSG Sport

<center><img src="http://idisk.mac.com/jeremyperry/Public/garnetfront.jpg"></center><p>It's done - I ordered my A3 today. I Have not seen anything but a paint chip in the brochure for this color, but knowing it is pearl and darker than brilliant red is enough for me. The painful wait begins....

Garnet Red DSG Sport
Light Grey interior
Open Sky
Bi-Xenon Headlights
Nav Plus with Bose
Sirius
Bluetooth
Aluminum Roof Rails !

About $700 over invoice, including a $349 'dealer svc fee?' I think its a fair deal.

The pic above from the German site configurator show pretty much what I'm getting, except they don't show the open sky.

Default yeah I saw a C6 A6 with them and they are very low profile

I like the older ones which had an inch to two inches between the rail and the body.

The rails are low profile, but can be used with the Audi accessories available for the larger removable roof rack. My wait time so far is quoted at the standard 60-90 days. I'm guessing the August production shutdown for German vacation might end up adding 30 more days to my wait...

here's a real image: http://www.germancarfans.com/photos/3040719.001/1099big.jpg

and this post has some great closeups:
