If you look at the frontal shot, you can't see any washer doors.<p>Also, what is that little pop-up door near the hand brake lever?- could it be a coin holder to replace the one you can get as an aftermarket option but doesn't really fit!?<p>It is obvious they are scavenging as many parts as possible from the A6 to save costs ...hazard light, cupholder, fog lights etc. I've sat in an A6 and tried the dash cupholder...and I'll tell you, I prefer the 99 version - it tends to accomodate various size cups ( except for big gulps) . The A6 version doesn't seem to be adjustable. <p>I don't like the look of the stereo at first...it may grow on me. I knew they would put a CD player in the dash right after I bought mine!<p>Are the seat heaters no longer adjustable?...it must be via the control panel vs. a rotary dial.<br>I for one will miss the big dash switches.<p>the new suspension may make up for the bad cosmetic chnages though.

Many of the items you miss (washers, seat heaters etc.) is not standard in Germany, so that's why they are missing in the pictures.<p>//Robert
