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.

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?
