You can also check out the info on the German Audi site (it's more comprehensive, since it's available there first):
It looks like it will be available with a 2.4L V6 or the 3.0L V6, although I read speculation somewhere else that only the 3.0 would be available in the US.
It's going to be front wheel drive only (at least for now), 5 speed manual or Multitronic (CVT).
Also, if you haven't seen it, check out the preview on AudiWorld -- it has some more detials and photos: |

| and their response to US introduction was "tenatively scheduled for sometime in 2002". btw, thanks, tysalpha, for the German site - even though I can't read German the site is navigatable - pretty cool to look at all the options. I configured the car the way I wanted, then took the Marks & converted to current US dollors - looks like right around $40,000 (includes just about all the options). I wonder how well this figure will compare to the actual - anyone know if there's a big mark-up for the US market? | |
| the a-4 ragtop is not much better looking than audi's last attempt at a convertible. their other autos are quite attractive, why can't they make this look good, too. | |

the cabriolet is beautiful. Also, I am pretty sure that Quattro will be available with the 3.0 V6 as well as a 6-speed manual. As for an S4 cabrio, I have not read anyhting about it, I have read of the S4 sedan, wagon, and maybe coupe but no word on convertible. http://www.audiworld.com/news/02/a4cab/ There was another article whihc went spoke of what I just mentioned but I can't seem to find that one right now. |

The Dallas Auto Show was this past weekend and the Audi rep who was standing next to the A4 Cab said that the multitronic versions would go on sale in the US in October 2002 and that the Quattro versions would go on sale about a year later. Its a great looking car. I think it looks as good as, but different than, a 3-Series convertible and the Audi rep said it would price out a couple of thousand less. There will be a slight hp difference, also. |

I put down a grand to get 3rd in line to order the Audi cabriolet and they just emailed last week that they are about ready to take an order. From the dealer -> Base price $41,500 destination(shipping) $660 (I think - they have not put that in print yet) Heated front seats $450 Xenon headlights come in a package that includes: Xenon, wind deflector, multi function steering wheel(radio controls), Auto dimming rear view mirrors, compass in inside mirror, power folding exterior mirrors, and memory for driver's seat and exterior mirrors) $1475. Leather inserts (the part that one sits on) are standard Premium leather (total seat, etc.) $1000 Premium sport leather $1500 That covers what you asked about. In addition they offer: 17" alloy wheels with all season tires $500 Sport package (17" wheels with performance tires and 30% stiffer suspension) $750 Navigation $1350 Other than the upgrade stereo that's it. |

| That's much more expensive than I thought it would be. Add a couple of options plus tax, and that's a $50k convertible... | |
| does anyone know if the cab will have two or three seatbelts in the back? | |
|
I am almost positive the backseat will have 2 seatbelts only. I cannot wait for this convertible to get to market. It looks hot, IMHO. There are many exterior/interior/ragtop color combinations. Does anyone know if potential buyers can custom order and get exactly the configuration they want from Audi? I am going to wait until spring for the 1.8T w/170 hp, and am thinking of what timeframe to put a deposit down and place the order. Would greatly appreciate any info on this process from someone in the know. |

FYI- On Monday I was driving on I-10 between New Orleans and Biloxi and guess what passed me at about 90 mph? A new ragtop 2-door A4. It took me a second to realize what it was and I did not get too good a look at it since it flew by so fast but it was pretty neat. The coolest thing was that it had European plates on it. It was blue/blue and very much reminded me of the old Audi cabrio which is good since I have always considered it to be one of the best looking converts ever made. |
