I have a feeling Black Optik will be available afterwards. It is available in other markets and previous North American models. It will come...

There is that option in Germany and other "free choice" (as opposed to packaged cars) markets, it is the Sport seat style, and uses black ventilated Milano leather. I was under the impression this was available for NA A4 models. The S Sport seat cannot be ventilated.

Thanks for correcting me. I did not notice it being offered with the Sport style seat.

Can anyone provide insight as to why you can't get wood inlays on Audi S models in lieu of the Carbon Fiber or Aluminum? Little pieces of carbon fiber aren't going to make a 3500 pound car go any faster, and I'd love nothing more than an S5 Sportback or the next-gen SQ5 (whenever that comes down the pike) with wood inlays. Both the BMW 440i M-Sport and the MB AMG C43 (logical equivalents to the S5) are available with wood inlays.
