Pretty basic option list...Dakota Gray with Black Interior, Premium Plus with 19" Sport Package and Side Assist.

This is my 4th A6 out of my last 5 vehicles, I stepped out with a 2006 E3504Matic two cars ago. New C7 is much improved over my 2008 C6. Just a couple of minor gripes, I hate fobs and keyless ignition, just don't see the point of it at all. And, as commonly reported, I can't seem to find a good setting for the new electric power steering assist.

Also, has anyone else with the 19" Sport Package received there cars with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics instead of the P Zeros?

I'll be checking back as fall approaches to see what options there are for 18" after market wheels. I called Tire Rack and they don't have fitment data for the 2012 A6 yet. I'm in Anchorage, AK and want to run Blizzak 60's or 70's again and I'm not sure Bridgestone will produce a 19" version of either.

Off to play with some of the MMI settings...

No 19's on the (preferred) WS70's. Here are the available tire sizes:

Unfortunately, they are only available in 225/55-18 or 225/45-18 and we need them to be 225/50-18. The 45's are a bit low on diameter (25.9") and the 55's are a bit tall (27.8"). With a sport suspension, I wonder if there would be rubbing issues. The diameter range for all stock fitments for the car is 26.7" - 27.1". I looooove the WS70's on my current 2.7T when I swap them in for winter. The car is absolutely unstopable in the snow and ice.
