Default Picked up some new brochures this morning

The top one is probably of most interest in this forum...

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/158/brochures_1_large.jpg">

I read the A4 one on the plane and there's some pretty cool technology that's going to be available on the new A4. Not sure if it will all make it over to the US, though.

- Ventilated and heated seats
- 3 zone climate control (Driver, passenger, rear)
- moisture detector to eliminate window fogging
- B&amp;O 500 watt sound system
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane assist
- Advanced parking system to guide you into your parking spot

And the thing I want to see the most...

- 3.0 TDi quattro 176 ps/500 Nm Torque!!!

Looks like standard wheels on all models listed is the 16". 205/60 16 on the 1.8T and 225/55 16 on all the rest. There are optional wheels in the 17" and 18" sizes.

Default NICE!

Some of those options I could give a d@mn about, like adaptive cruise, lane departure, and parking assist. I usually pay more attention than that. Nice to have more formalized confirmation of the 3.0TDi, however.

Would like to know availability of the sport seats they get in Europe. Separate option or only with S-Line? Available at all?

Default Keep in mind this is a european brochure

So the engines, etc apply to the european model.

For the seats there are 3 options -

- Climate controlled comfort seats
- Seats with manual controls
- Sport seats (electric controls)

Can you tell if Aruba Blue is lighter or darker than Ocean Blue?

I figured they probably were. Still nice to know. And those are still questions I will have. I am going to keep banging the drum hoping someone at AOA hears me.

Hey, in case you are listening how about a roof rack delete too?

So, does that mean you cannot get Sport seats that are also Climate controlled?

Default Not too clear on that one

The description of the Climate Controlled seats sounds like the description of the sport seats... "shaped side bolsters..." so perhaps the CC seats are the same design as the sport seats just with different materials.
