It was Carter Balkcom, AoA's A4 Product Manager. - Bob58 2008-06-03 15:45:46 (74 views) Looks like average consumption of 31 MPG (7.6 l/100 km).

Or is the G37 also an S4 competitor? - Spoonie G 2008-06-03 12:38:29 (69 views) The only competition left for the B8 3.2 is seemingly the 328i, C300 and IS250 - Bada Bing 2008-06-03 12:56:30 (121 views) If you don't want AWD and hate FWD you have plenty of options.

The A4 3.2 just doesn't provide enough excitement when you press the gas pedal - Spoonie G 2008-06-04 10:25:38 (50 views) You don't have something more substantial to say? - qwest1914 2008-06-04 13:54:53 (24 views) No I don't . The 3.2l engine's lack of competitive power is substantial enough within itself - Spoonie G 2008-06-04 16:07:51 (27 views) And?

We both don't own one so we both should be able to comment. - Spoonie G 2008-06-05 14:44:43 (18 views) They're both fun (300hp/350hp+). 265hp isn't IMO. - Spoonie G 2008-06-04 11:45:13 (47 views) Agree!

Any guesstimates on cost differential between S-line vs. 19" sport package? - Bada Bing 2008-06-02 16:47:47 (229 views) There's an awful lot of cruft in the S-line package. The interior stuff is useless to me. - Hokie_Audi 2008-06-03 06:00:30 (152 views) I think the black interior is a big miss on the S-Line.. I like the package but I really - MML 2008-06-03 09:12:24 (105 views) I was ready to plunk down some "show" dollars on the S-line, but black only is a no-go for me too. - Hokie_Audi 2008-06-03 10:59:27 (42 views) I guess I'm odd man out. The black headliner is a big plus for me. - gk1 2008-06-03 12:16:13 (59 views) Black for me... I think it is so nice - Spacecadet_CC 2008-06-04 12:10:04 (24 views) Define "boy-racer cladding". Do you mean the bumper and rocker molding that make it look like an S4? - gk1 2008-06-03 08:00:48 (70 views) Man racer then, but it's still non functional aesthetics. I'd even like to have the man-racer parts - Hokie_Audi 2008-06-03 08:57:31 (59 views) Boy racer are big wings where if driven fast enough backwards it might achieve lift for takeoff - Tanner 2008-06-03 08:30:56 (50 views) '07 S-Line pricing option was $3400 for a 2.0T - gk1 2008-06-02 18:29:38 (161 views)

More of a disabling of a safety device. Like turning of the seatbelt chime. - gk1 2008-06-02 14:17:27 (87 views) The LEDs are bright enough that they would overpower the singnals visually - BlueDog 2008-06-02 05:13:00 (171 views) IIRC the LEDs stay on with the blinkers on Euro-spec cars. Is it overpowering here but not there? - Moro is an Orange 2008-06-02 15:26:39 (43 views) Exactly. It serves a deliberate purpose. - gk1 2008-06-02 07:36:57 (67 views) A lot of cars do this today - Tanner 2008-06-02 05:44:15 (147 views) Yup.

Some questions on the SD card slot and pricing - phanatic 2008-05-31 22:08:51 (256 views) Re: Some questions on the SD card slot and pricing - Kasaasta12 2008-06-05 01:30:46 (49 views) My best guess pricing for a B8 2.0Tq Tip is $36,000 US. Add $4k for Premium Plus. So $40k total. - gk1 2008-05-31 23:22:21 (130 views) I'll throw in my guess at 34k for starters. That gives them some cushion to an auto 328x. - Hokie_Audi 2008-06-05 07:39:15 (28 views) An auto 328xi Premium is at $41k w/ heated seats. - gk1 2008-06-05 12:21:52 (22 views) Edmunds listed a 3.2 Q Tip with Prestige, Nav/camera, Adaptive CC and ADS at $45K - Bada Bing 2008-06-02 17:03:03 (51 views) It was estimated pricing. - gk1 2008-06-02 18:13:47 (36 views) I would think AoA gave them a pretty good estimate along with the keys to the car - Bada Bing 2008-06-03 09:36:43 (28 views) I think Audi didn't give them any estimate more than what they publicly give everyone else. - gk1 2008-06-03 09:53:21 (20 views) If so Audi = Doomed. They need some pricing leverage to keep Americans out of BMWs. - Hokie_Audi 2008-06-01 19:53:36 (39 views) $36k would be an 11% price hike (B8 base price to B7 base price). Ouch! - BMWBig6 2008-06-01 05:18:43 (63 views) Yup, from everything I'm reading, plus poor dollar, plus added content 11% is about right. - gk1 2008-06-01 08:30:43 (86 views) So which model starts at $28K (per AoA media information)? - Bada Bing 2008-06-01 10:04:41 (57 views) An '08 A4 2.0T Frontrack, 6spd, solid paint, cloth, zero options is $29k on Audiusa.com - gk1 2008-06-01 12:06:40 (70 views) I think you are off by at least $2K - Bada Bing 2008-06-02 10:15:19 (47 views) I hope I am wrong. As I said before I hope for only +5%, but plan for +10%. - gk1 2008-06-02 12:23:20 (32 views) didn't someone on this forum previously say it was only going to be 3-5%? - an0nymous 2008-06-01 08:56:35 (40 views) I'm planning on 10% but hoping for only 5%. - gk1 2008-06-01 12:07:38 (32 views) My guess is...... - Bob58 2008-06-01 09:49:20 (92 views) You really think the base price is 36K? - phanatic 2008-06-01 00:28:57 (118 views) I am in exactly the same situation that you are. - an0nymous 2008-06-01 08:54:54 (77 views) Yes. Base (now called Premium) for a 2.0Tq Tip includes quite a lot standard. - gk1 2008-06-01 08:40:42 (102 views) An '08 328xi equipped to the "Premium Plus" equivalent MSRPs over $40K. - Bob58 2008-06-01 05:52:46 (49 views) You're right, but it's only 41k by my estimation - phanatic 2008-06-01 10:07:36 (61 views) Sounds like you're realistically weighing all the options and choosing what fills your needs best. - Bob58 2008-06-01 12:33:51 (52 views) From pics below it appears non-nav radio has the SD card slot in the dash. - gk1 2008-05-31 22:25:25 (123 views) UK owners claim the Nav cars don't have a SD slot like the non-Nav cars. I want both. - BMWBig6 2008-06-01 05:13:21 (46 views) That is a shame. Perhap AMI + inexpensive SD card MP3 player is an alternative. - gk1 2008-06-01 08:26:53 (41 views) Re: From pics below it appears non-nav radio has the SD card slot in the dash. - phanatic 2008-05-31 22:32:44 (91 views) Yes, the slot is just to the right of the "INFO" button. - gk1 2008-05-31 23:18:32 (48 views)
