I am sure it was an oversite on my part, but I did not see self-closing doors for the short wheel base car.
I also did not see a wood steering wheel option this year. This might be real, but I hope not.

As per the A8 Product Information Book (PIB), the power soft-closing doors are standard on the A8L, and are part of an optional package on the A8 (NWB). While they don't specify which package this is in the Order Guide dated May 14th, or the PIB, I'd bet it's part of the A8 (NWB)Convenience Package (Keyless Entry, Power Trunk Open/Close, Audi Parking System w/Rearview Camera)---standard on the A8L. As I previously mentioned when I first posted the info from the Order Guide, there are a few errors/omissions that I'm sure will soon be (or already have been) corrected.

There is no mention that I've seen of the wood steering wheel. The only steering wheel specs shown in the PIB are the different NWB and LWB types: 3-spoke w/round hub on the NWB; 4-spoke w/more oblong hub on the LWB --- both are leather wrapped.

The documentation does say "subject to change..."
By the way, did you type the order guide or scan it?

I didn't get a PIB from my saleperson when he gave me the order guide. Guess I'll have to pay him a visit.

It was in a PDF file that I copied over as text. The A8 PIB is also in a PDF format.

Could you forward me the PDF file? I might like to peruse it.

Ooops, thought I'd taken care of that. You can try again.
