Default more 2008 changes/info...

I picked up a 2008 brochure today. I have never seen the brochure superceed the arrival of the car so far in advance. Strange. Anyway, here are a few more tidbits that may not have been mentioned yet:
Can no longer get black leather with Ocean Blue. (Does this also mean Ocean is not available with the S-Line interior?) Platinum Grey is now Light Grey (don't know if it's actually a different color or not), Canvas Beige is now Dark Beige (looks the same), standard S-Line trim is indeed happening (the salesman had no idea until I mentioned it to him), but the base 2.0T rims are still the dinky 16"ers. Rim program is same as last year except the 5-spoke 18" S-Line style rims are standard on all 3.2's. All needles on gauges are now white, a la S4. And shift paddles are indeed standard on ALL automatics, regardless of packages and trim. A last note, the S-Line front bumper area looks so much nicer, with it's black side air intake centers. No longer looks like the fogs are suspended by spectacle eye-glass frames. Also a bit of a stretch to be calling base 2.0's with the 16" rims, "S-Line." But we'll take the other trim pieces any day.

Default Correction: Dakar Beige is still Dakar Beige.

Back to the topic of paint and interior color options- 2008's choices are a far cry from 2002's choices.

Default I don't have a scanner, unfortunately. But if you have a specific question

regarding an option or package, fire away and I'll answer.

Default Re: No problem

I think I have a good idea of what the changes are. Trip computer and tire pressure monitor are standard along with s-line exterior except for the wheels is what I'm gathering. Where can I find good pictures of what the s-line exterior adds to the look of the car?

2008 is a good A4 year for features and prices. Typical last model year wrap up before redesign.
