Sports seats are not an individual option for 2008. The new S line interior package for 2008 gives you the firmer sport seats, suspension, birch wood trim, milano leather, S line interior details with upgraded steering wheel & paddle shifters. It's a $2000 option.
All 2008 A6's will have the exterior S line grill and body work standard for 2008, though.
But you can't get Amaretto interior with sport seats. Black milano leather is your only choice if you want sport seats on a 2008 model

I have had Audi sport seats in Ecru and Audi premium leather seats in Amaretto.
I currently have the Amaretto interior in my A6.
I love the color and the COMFORT seats, although NOT as heavily bolstered are very sporty and comfortable for "non sport seats."
Having had both in A6's, I will tell you I would want the sport seats if I had a stick shift.
The regular premium leather bucket seats are fine as wine with an auto transmission.
The premium leather is worth it, too, if you plan to keep the car for more than 4 years, since the lesser seats have fake leather on the non seating surfaces and it will, eventually crack, the leather is unlikely to do that.

I recently saw an Audi A6 L. What does the L stand for.

You may have seen an A8L although I have read that in other (non NA) markets there is also an A6L.
"L" = long wheelbase.

I've also noticed that the insignia A6 / A8 on the tail of the car are hard to differentiate from afar.

Audi's oddball options and colors setup is the reason I'm not rolling in an A6 4.2 now! What the heck difference does it make what kind of cushions the leather is stretched over?? It's just a color. Why can't we get the Amaretto on the sport seats anymore??

Part of the differnce is the texture of the leather on A6's. A8's have a smooth texture, and even the upgraded voltera (now called milano on 08 models) has more of a textured pebbly feel to it on A6 models. The only time Audi ever offered amaretto sports seats was on the old S8 if I remember correctly.
The sport seats look different for the 08 A6 models and I've yet to see them in person.

You could get sport seats in amaretto on the '05 and '06 A6 (4.2). And you can even select it on their website now (has a picture of the sport seats in amaretto and everything.)
