Default New S4... Where's the Nav Plus ?

Don't tell me that the new S4 is just going to have the tiny little nav screen on the dash.

it'll also be used for NAV is up to AoA

No Nav Plus could be a deal breaker

Default Agreed, That's why I chose the 330i over the S4.

Along with a couple of other reasons. But Audi's lack of a real NAV system w/map was the deal breaker.

I'm sorry but after having a NAV with the map display, I will never buy a premium car without one. Audi has the least impresive looking NAV system out of all of the premuim brands. Even Honda, Toyota, and Nissan offers Nav systems with Map displays. Audi needs to get with the program.

Default Lack of NAV system with a map was a deal-breaker for you?

Interesting, I guess everyone has different requirements in a performance car, NAV system isn't high on my priority list. Good old Rand-McNally hasn't let me down yet, and it's cheaper than a NAV system too!

lack of a CD player w/ the BMW NAV would have been a deal killer for me. I NEVER use tapes
