Somewhat of a repost but thought I'd share... I stopped by the dealer today

They expect the first batch of 2.0T's to show up in about 2 weeks. They're already at the port and I guess Audi will be releasing them a bit earlier than expected (sounds like about 2 weeks earlier than originally anticipated).

Can't wait for my 2.0T with all the goodies, including NAV. Quartz gray with Ebony interior.

Their (sic) d@mn website is designed to provide info about current models on dealer lots. It is not designed to help feed our needs to know the future.

I work for an Audi dealer... and I have to say... Audi is the WORST at generating hype for a new product..... i.e. their website.....

You have information on the site about the A3 but NOTHING about the car that will be here in days??? the B7 A4 ????

Dano_SL · 01-23-2005, 04:48 PM

Agree. They have a very well done site with little info. There is so much new stuff comming from Audi, you would think the place to find it would be there web site. I'm very much waiting for the A6 Avant, but by checking there site I wouldn't even know one is comming.

macrocosm · 01-23-2005, 04:51 PM

have you gone to www.audi.co.uk to look at the information on the avant?

In my experience, when AoA falls short with providing information, be it technical or marketing, it's usually because they don't get it from Germany, or they have their hands tied as to what they can release.

I hate getting calls about the RS4, Nuvolari and LE MANS Quattro.
Don't get me wrong, I love talking about them, but try to tell a person that this is not for now, and then they question you because they read somewhere that it was coming....

Audi needs to do a better job of creating this hype for incoming vehiles. They missed big time with the A6 and it looks as if they're on the same track with the A3 and A4. Too bad.
