Looks like they've monkeyed with the center console. I wonder if they'll use wood around the manual shifter?<p>The Avant looks good, BTW.

...the blue insert on the steering wheel. It looks like the original black one was damaged and you found that one in a wrecking yard as a replacement. Kind of similar to a blue Chevette with one red quarter panel.<p>TGB

Looks like the center portion is the same color as the other trim pieces. Imagine if you had a terra cotta colored dash.

This is the Audi Symphony Radio. It comes in the new A8 and has more power than before.

This unit could also make it into our cars one day.<p>

I can't believe how just updating the center console makes it look so much better. Looks like they are adopting the A6 climate control module and the heated seat/defrost buttons as well.<br> <br>If you look closely just to the right of the hazard lights switch, they have put the A6 in-dash cupholder in there as well! It still is 12oz can sized, but at least it's not in the way of your arm or the arm rest!<p>JohnS<br>

If you go back to the Audi press release posted either on last week's a4.org home page or the one at Auid.com, it mentions having the steering wheel in dash color...wonder how THAT will look with the Opal gray interior...???? My stomach trembles...(have one on order like that...)<p>>>>>>Bernie

I also order a 99.5 A4 2.8 with opal gray. I am also scared about the steering wheel. It looks ugly. Any one know if you can still get the black dash and steering wheel? I am scared how it looks I am thinking about switching the color to black instead of opal grey<br>
