Lower weight (1.8T weighs 3100lbs!) in a better balanced chassis...

Am I missing something?

I'm very excited about this car. The initial reaction in the B7 forum worries me.

just got my 08 b7, but this one might be my new car in a year if possible

Because that would be like a 400-500lb weight difference. Bringing back the 1.8t in american markets would just be ass backwards, because the 2.0t is so widespread through VAG.

dealer told me i had to pay out my remaining lease payments. good luck.

You will then have to sell that car privately. Last I checked a few years ago they just provided the quote via an automated phone system. That might not make sense financially though.

You miss the first year or two while others are ironing out the bugs. Not such a bad thing, no?
