Default '07 pricing is horrible.

Audi has gone and ruined the pricing for the A3 like they already had with the A4 - all of the options that I'm interested in and used to be able to order indiviually are now bundled or require additional packages. As an example, Bose is now bundled with XM, HID is now bundled with the Technology package, Sport package is now S-Line, etc.

As a result, a 2007 A3 will now cost $2k more than a 2006 with the options I want (sport suspension, Bose, HID and heated seats).

You mean Sirius (not XM).

Default Why bother with Bose?

A waste of money IMHO.

Order a base A3 and put on coilovers, custom seats, etc.

Default Yes and no...The S-Line is more aggressive than the Sport package for the 2006 model.

You also know get Adaptive headlights for 2007.
After the first production A3s you were not able to get Sport, convenience and Xenon together.
Now you can.
Priced option to option it's about $1,300 more for the 07.
Audi actually listened to client and fixed the problem stated above with the 06 model SPort A3.

Default That's the rumor for 07's (Symphony playing MP3 CD's), but not sure if confirmed.

But, yes, I know your question was tongue-in-cheek..

Default Gulp! Okay, I have never gotten into the MP3 thing and do not fully understand it, but

I thought you could burn MP3 files (songs) to CD and fit like 50+ on a single CD rather than the typical 15 in uncompressed "audio" format.

But, as I said, I truly am pretty ignorant on the whole subject. XMRadio is my bag for "random playlists"...
