Replying to: huntzinger (May 27, 2008 9:52 am) I noticed they dropped Deep Sea Blue for the A3 as well. I was interested in that color. Quattro with the 2.0 engine is what will probably sell me on the '09 A3. |

| Where are you getting your new information on the 2009 model A3's? | |

Replying to: andres3 (May 29, 2008 2:08 pm) We have a 2009 on order ... as of Friday, it has been accepted into production, but there was a "call Factory" note on it that needed to be resolved. Heard back from our salesman on Saturday - - the note was because the color of Azure Blue is going to be a "Delayed Introduction". What "delayed" that means could be Oct 08, or January 09, etc. Simply don't know right now. My salesman is going to be calling his regional representative this week to find out more. BTW, I got a quick verbal list of the colors that will be available in the initial 09 shipment (eg, Aug/Sept delivery)...salesman was hoping that my wife's #2 color choice was a close second and would be willing to switch; can't blame him for trying. Overall, it was an IMO downright uninspired list... I didn't write it down, but I recall that there was a red, a white, some type of black (probably metallic?), something called "ice silver" (replaced last year's silver) and some shade of metallic grey. In thinking about this color list while writing this up, it reminded me very much of the color list that VW puts on the GTI...and checking VW's website, I see: Candy White - Tornado Red - Black Magic Metallic - United Grey Metallic - Reflex Silver. Yup, same 5 basic colors. Thanks Audi, but if I wanted a car that looked just like a GTI, I'd go buy a GTI and save $4,500. -hh

Replying to: huntzinger (Jun 02, 2008 5:45 am) Brilliant Red Aruba Blue Pearl Effect Lava Gray Pearl Effect Meteor Gray Pearl Effect Ice Silver Metallic Ibis White Misano Red Pearl Effect (S-Line only) Monza Silver Pearl Effect (S-Line only) There's no green or tan in there, but otherwise, it seems to cover it. Or what am I missing?

| Green and Beige/Tan are the two colors Audi needs to add most!!! and it's the colors most blatantly left off... bad decision! | |

Replying to: diggydoc1 (Jun 02, 2008 1:17 pm) Since I only recall one shade of gray, either the Lava or the Meteor isn't initially available (another "delayed introduction"). The two colors in the S-Line weren't mentioned as I wasn't looking to order an S. Don't have any particular insight on those. -hh |

Murano Green, but in a slightly lighter shade!!! Dakar Beige, both of these are beautiful colors. |
|
Does anyone have up-to-date info on any changes to the 2009 A3 options packages and interiors. Colors seem to be covered. Thanks
