Though available in Europe in May, we have to wait until next fall. Great info & pictures at the Audi UK site. try this link: http://www.audi.co.uk/audi/uk/en2/new_cars/a4/s4_saloon.html 0-62mph in 5.1 seconds, which means 0-60 in probably 4.9 sec. You know they'll have some unique colors. Can't wait to drive this one. If only my lease didn't expire next month. Plus I bet the newly announced hard drive MMI will come on it (see article below). Audi 'Unplugs' with new In-Car Technology Sep 5, 2008 New Audi MMI features integral 4,000-song ‘jukebox’, full remote iPod control and HDD navigation. • Latest generation Multi Media Interface offers the option of a new integral 4,000-track ‘jukebox’ which can download music files via SD card and store them on hard drive • Combined with optional Audi Music Interface, MMI offers full iPod control via the header unit and displays full track/title information on the in-dash monitor • Standard DVD playback facility, optional DAB digital radio and TV reception • Hard drive also contains even more intricately detailed sat nav maps with new 3D ‘digital topographical’ views • New processors even plot 3 possible routes wherever possible, including one specifically calculated as the most economical Audi has just broken the sound barrier with an advanced new in-car entertainment system that offers exceptionally easy and intuitive control of iPods, MP3 players and CDs, but actually doesn’t need any of them. With its new integral hard drive, the latest Audi Multi Media Interface (MMI) is capable of storing up to 4,000 tracks internally – more than enough even for long-haul trans-continental holiday journeys. When MMI is combined with the optional Audi Music Interface, the driver can remotely control an iPod or other music storage device using the central MMI control knob with its new built-in ‘joystick’ and the four logically arranged push buttons grouped around it. Full track and title listings are displayed on the sophisticated in-dash screen, and tracks can be scrolled through and selected in much the same way as they are using the iPod itself, earning the system plenty of plaudits already for its clarity, accessibility and ease of navigation. Features available as part of the latest system also include DAB digital radio reception, analogue and digital TV reception and DVD playback, all through the large in-dash monitor. The new high-tech hard drive has a total capacity of 40 GB, 10GB of which is given over to the 4,000-song ‘mobile jukebox’ facility that can be loaded using SD memory cards. It also holds satellite navigation data covering the whole of Western Europe, replacing the outgoing system’s already widely acclaimed DVD-based technology. The new hard disk dramatically enhances the already high quality mapping offered by the Audi Satellite Navigation System Plus, significantly increasing the degree of detail and offering a new 3D ‘digital topographical’ view which gives a pictorial depiction of key landmarks to add even greater ‘context’. Wherever possible it even provides a choice of three routes to a chosen destination, including one that has been specifically calculated to require the least possible consumption of fuel. The latest generation Multi Media Interface with HDD navigation is now fitted as standard to A8 models, and will be available as an upgrade for the Audi Q7, Audi Q5, A6, A5 and A4 ranges in the near future. The Audi Music Interface enabling iPod connectivity can be added to the system at extra cost. For the optimum listening experience, the new unit can be combined in many models with speaker systems from Bang & Olufsen offering up to 1,000 watts of music power. |

Replying to: aussiem8 (Sep 29, 2008 7:25 pm) I've been quoted a late December delivery of my S-Line, the order did get into the system. I work for Microsoft and got a 6% off MSRP discount as a corporate rate, and there was no negotiating beyond that. Regarding your S-Line or not, I've been torn on this as well so I think you're looking at it the right way. I could absolutely see skipping the S-Line and sport package altogether and just going Prestige with Drive Select (so you can get dynamic steering, etc. if you want it), Navigation, and probably then the wood trim (I don't like the hologram look). I nearly went this way but opted for the S-Line route when it became available. Thinking I might actually order the 18" wheels with all-season tires separately and just switching them out for winter/summer (we get some weather in the Pacific Northwest...)

Replying to: carshoppin13 (Oct 16, 2008 9:53 pm) In order to get the lowest lease price you'll need to get the lowest selling price. $37,525 is a good price for the Premium Plus, although I was offered invoice at Steven's Creek Audi. You can calculate your lease payment here: http://www.leaseguide.com/calc.htm I initially thought about leasing, but then decided to buy since it is ALWAYS cheaper to buy then lease (i.e. you'll get more money if you sell your car at the end of 3 years) and you don't have to worry about miles. I got a really good loan rate at Pentagon Federal Credit Union (4.75% for 72 months). Hope that helped! |

Picked up my new Audi last week and I LOVE it. I got the 2.0T with Prestige and Navigation in Ibis White. I'm getting a Ventureshield Clear Bra this weekend, then Formula One Pinnacle Tint, JL Audio subwoofer and amp, and 3 piece forged black & chrome Kinesis wheels. It will be sweet! I changed out my grey front grille for the 3.2 glossy black grille (a couple hundred dollars more), and added chrome tips (makes the back so much better). My favorite thing is the keyless start. I never have to take me key out of my purse! I also like the LED daytime headlights. I can't lie, I get happy when I catch a reflection of my car. I got a 2007 A4 loaner car while the put on my grille and I have to say the two models were like night and day. The 2007 felt like a tiny sedan... not much difference then the geo prizm I upgraded from. The roomie-ness and features of the 2009 make it feel like luxury! I'm so glad I got the Prestige!
