This reminds me of a bit of Audi trivia . . . Back in 1984 when Audi came out with the new 5000 series, the flagship 5000 Turbo did not have cruise control. It was standard on the base 5000. No one noticed until a customer brought it to our attention. To make matters worse, it could not be retrofitted to the 5000T. A very big screw by Audi.

I believe it had to do with the fact the the 5000 turbo was only initially available with a manual tranny---no automatic. They hadn't figured out how to mate up the cruise control with a non-auto transmission configuration. I had an '85 5000S, and loved it....except for the car's inability to have all its equipment functioning all at the same time, as well as the lousy auto tranny design where a leak in the seal that divided two different fluids would (and did) tear up the gears, and not to be forgotten: the occasional blow-out of the high pressure hydraulic steering hoses. Man, I miss that car 😂
