Yesterday we put a conditional order in on a new 6spd manual 2.0TFSI A4 with all options, Quartz Grey/Silver with Beige Leather.
Conditional, in that when the car comes in if my wife doesn't like the "behind the wheel" experience, she can walk with no harm no foul. I would be shocked if this happens.
We specified Panther Black Pearl -- a standard Audi Color (but not here): $2,500. Back in the day when Pearl White was an off the sheet option, it was "only" $1,250. We would have gone $1,000 -- not worth $2,500. And, typical AoA, we cannot order any Audi wheel from the Audi parts bin until AFTER we take delivery and then at the roll up your arm and bend over price -- so we'll be ordering some RS 6 wheels from our friend josh -- 18" wheels are not avail no way no how (probably with the late arrival S Line pack, I'd bet.)
No prices, but I can only assume that even with every possible option (except auto trans), this should still price out at a number beginning with a 3.
=====
I keep reading here, that some folks are all hyped up about the new A4 3.2 -- some going so far as to imply that it is almost a 2002 S4 -- I said almost.
My dealer says the new A4 3.2 ONLY comes with the tiptronic. While the new 3.2 A4 may be a fine fine performer (and produce sub 7 second romps to 100 kph) -- wouldn't it be even better if AoA had considered offering us a 6spd manual in the 3.2 new A4, too?
Or, is the late November order guide incorrect?
In other words, do we all believe that the new A4 3.2 will come ONLY with a tip?
