Do we really believe that Audi can't put a power moonroof into this car?

Default I thought it was a deal break for me, until I sat in S5. It made difference what soever. It would

be nice, and if they could have designed with the same size as the moonroof currently is, I'd be all for it. But, it ultimately doesn't bother me, not having drive select, hill hold assist, or lead taillights is alot more annoying, not the tail lights so much. The drive select and hill hold are huge.

Default How would a sliding roof panel detract from the car's lines?

Sorry, but that makes no sense to me. Worst case scenario, they could have made the sliding panel body-colored rather than smoked glass. Still, nearly every other luxury car can be had with a power glass moonroof without "disturbing the lines"; so could the A5/S5. If nothing else, make it optional so the buyer can decide.

That would be even worse IMO.

Default Completely agree

I'm pissed off about Drive Select not being offered to US customers when it is available for other markets (Germany, Australia, etc). The technology is clearly ready to go and these cars are made at the same factory. I don't understand why we can't order it. And hill hold is a simple thing to offer as well since all other markets seem to have it. I don't get it.

Default Maybe something to do with our laws, I don't know, but it's bugging the hell out of me.

Women spills a cup of hot coffee on her lap, and McD's gets blamed for her being a clutz and burning herself. This is what we get. No drive select or hill hold.

Default If the only way the roof could slide back is to be outside the car. Yes it would disturb the lines.

And be dangerous.
