There's more to the difference than ventilation. Look at the pictures in the earlier post - the Prestige Comfort seating portion has longer thigh support and side cushions, different stitching throughout as well as the ventilated seats. Back when I compared the two seats, the Prestige seating surface felt softer and more compliant, possibly due to the multitude of ventilation holes and the additional, smaller leather panels on the seat and back surfaces.

I also know I have the button to control lumbar support which the left seat in that picture is missing.

Actually, the lumbar control has been available in all the 12-way seats, not just the Prestige comfort seats, i.e Premium Plus standard seats.

Does the Comfort Seat option include its movement back on exit like the A8?

Not on the A6 though you do get the power steering wheel w/auto exit tilt/retract w/the Prestige.

I would guess there will be a bigger price bump for the base Prestige than for the Premium plus due to the LED headlights and HUD.

It's interesting to note the A7 will have an "auto parking system" on both trims (no mention of this on the A6). Also the S-Line will only be available on the A7 Prestige.

I don't see a mention in the order guide of the AT&T 4G MMI on any of the models even though we know it's available on the A3 so we'll see.

Here's something I think is missing on the 2015 order form: On the 2014 there was an option for 19" 15 spoke wheels with all season tires. Now it looks like if you want all season tires you have to stick with the standard 18".

Is that right, or did I miss something?

The order guide still shows a 19" Sport pkg with A/S tires, just not as a separate option. It's good to remember that these initial order guides usually go through a few changes before they are finalized.

The Warm Weather Package is standard on the Prestige models. Optional on the Premium Plus.
