Sport package (separate from the S-Line) includes either 19" or 20" dedicated wheels, differently rated suspension components, three-spoke steering wheel and steering column shift paddles.

I have both of the above and I feel the S-Line is very distinctive and adds more swoop to the lines for a more pleasing aesthetic.

The Sport package lowers the car .8" with 19" or 20" wheels that are considerably nicer than the non-sport offerings. I use the shift paddles frequently, particularly when downshifting. After driving the non-sport A6, the sport version adds significant handling improvement and better appearance, albeit with a tad more firmness over crappy roads. Very liveable ride even here in MA where bad roads are proudly traveled like a badge of courage.
+1 US Prestige and I am happy with what I have... if I change I will go to an S model in say 2015 depending on whats out there... 2012 A6 Prestige rocks my world until then.....

Love the C7 S-Line on my Prestige.
But was sad to find out that the C7 Prestige didn't have the paddles I got used to and loved on my C6. Used 'em all the time. I still find my fingers reaching for them occasionally.

That's because you have the Sport package.

+1 in the Chicago burbs for me. I love the paddles. My exhaust actually sounds goofy when I leave it in auto. I need the higher RPM's for a fluid sound. The shift points in auto mode are a bad song on the Stasis exhaust

I went S-line because I wanted the flat bottom steering wheel. The sport package doesn't include it.

How did you get a flat bottom steering wheel? I don't have one.

The flat bottom steering wheel is part of the S-line package. If you only have the sport interior, it comes with a three spoke steering wheel and paddles, but not the flat bottom.

Which country/region are you in? This option is not available in North America.
