Nice, was Lava grey with light tan interior, had 20 inch wheels, Nav, Rear Camera, 4 zone climate and air suspension.

Some points

(1) Bigger than I thought it would be
(2) Nice cup holders
(3) Great rear camera (not sure I would buy this though)
(4) Great interior fit/finish
(5) Sounds much better than the 4.2 Allroad
(6) Nice wheels, a light grey finish, so will not show brake duct as much
(7) room for my 15 year old in back seat
(8) can control air suspension from the back cargo area
(9) great carpet, its about time they put this type of carpet in, which my Allroad had this
(10) 4 zone climate control is a must for back seat area
(11) nice headlights, far better than anything I have seen, same ones on the new A6
(12) Engine performance seemed fine, not sure that the V6 will be enough to move this thing

While bigger than the Allroad, its cheaper than the new A6 Avant, so will most likley order one to replace AllRoad

but figure

Technology Package 2,400
20" Wheels 1,600
Nav 1,800
4 Zone 950
Air Suspension 2,600

So $59,250 + 720 for destination charge

I was going to order a 4.2 with

20" Wheels 1,600
Nav 1,800
4 Zone 950
Cold Weather 850

for $55,100 + 720

and a BMW X5 4.8i was with same options at $73,745 (BMW is quicker in 0-60 times) but I bet Q7 has better fuel comsumption than 16/21

... and the RS4 and the Q7 were straight from the LA Autoshow. The RS4 is sweet, the Q7 is a monster. I got to play with it for a while the day before the event when they were setting it up.

They also had lots of Audi USA management there (including the executive VP and lots of other management). Great event...

it is a hard, VW-like plastic.
