Default 2012 A4 on audi.com

I notice that Audi has just put the 2012 A4 up on their web page and in the configurator.

I also notice that when you select the S line plus package, the exterior picture it shows still has a chrome surround, which I believe to be wrong.

Interesting... The 2012 configurator lists Alcantara seats as part of the P+ sport package... Wonder if that's a typo?

Audi's online car configuration system is terrible. The image of the car looks more like a cartoon than a photograph. When you change the interior while looking at the exterior view, nothing happens. Etc. etc. etc. Hire a couple of web design people for god's sake!

Wow. I just saw this after you pointed it out (24 hours ago). How could they have "typos" like this on a launch that has presumably been planned for months? Crazy.

Yeah - based on JonDeutsch's 2012 thread it is a typo.. I guess they need more QA folks on the web team I just put in my order for a 2012 Ibis P+ sport pack + B&O... Pretty excited.

If you get the sports package, are you limited to a black interior?

Dunno- I wanted black . I wasn't able to see a sport pack in person before ordering. The info on this forum was great!

Didn't mean to hijack the OP...

Unbelievable isn't it? They are one of the most profitable car companies in the world. I recently read that their margins are around 18-22% per unit. One would think they could at least get the cars up on the website in a timely fashion and with the right options.

the A4 Avant is in our sights but I don't understand Audi. They offer colored interiors for the S models on the A5 but only black on the A4. Who wants a black dark interior when a bright color is so much more inviting.
