Default spotted: 3.0 ultra sport silver & 1.8 u.s. dolphin (dealer/fin rant) TPIWWP

The votex kit along with the door wings and S4ish rear bumper really look great (along with the 18" RS4s) - nice perforated steering wheel as well. Murphy's Law - several months after I bought a Passat - 4 motion came out. Several months after I bought my A4, this beast comes out. Oh well-

So I'm asking the sales guy a few questions about it (well, more like quizzing him just to see what he knows - don't you love doing that?!!).

me: "so the headunit is able to play the sirius or do you need another unit?"

him: "oh no, the radio plays AM/FM/Cassette/CD and this new satellite radio - that is what the thing on the roof is for."

me: "you mean the shark fin? It really is distracting, way too big for a car this size. Looks fine on the A8, I guess - I can hardly look at a new A4 without staring at it."

him: "well, I don't think so - all high end cars have them now: BMWs, Benzs, etc."

me: <shakes head, finds the nearest exit>

Greg: Did you notice if it was a Tip and if so did the steering wheel have paddels or buttons?

Default yes at aorh - 2 miles away. I went to check the difference between S4 and votex spoiler.

votex is a little big.
