Default What are the odds this interior will be available on US spec models?



I posted this thread a couple days ago when I found out that my order for a 2012 A4 was cancelled because Audi stopped building them, and I was told that I could get a 2013 for the same price. So since them, I have been doing a lot of research, and I am really beginning to like the new model. I especially like the new interiors and refinements.

So I was wondering what the odds might be that we would get the new color schemes pictured in the Euro spec models. I really like the one pictured above, since it adds a bit of color compared to an all black interior, but the leather is still a darker color so I don't have to worry as much about dirt and staining from clothing and wear and tear.

I noticed that the interior pictured above is from an Avant, so I am hoping that it is not exclusive to the Avant since I am getting a sedan, and the Avant is not coming to the states this year anyway.

Dunno - we'll know for sure when the US Order Guides arrive.
Probably in Feb, since the cars are supposed to arrive mid 2012.

I love the color combo.
Other than the steering wheel, I see no noticeable difference in the interior from my 2010. What is everyone so excited about?

Based on the lack of interior options on US spec. models compared to the rest of the world, I would not expect to see a color outside of black, gray and beige.

Black
Velvet Beige/Black
Velvet Beige/Brown
Titanium Gray / Gray
Titanium Gray / Black
Chestnut Brown / Black

Polished, fine grain matte, and layered oak wood are all available in 2013 A4's

Sounds good! Now here's hoping that there is no added cost for the multi colors and Military Auto Source will let me change the all black interior in my 2012 order to Chestnut Brown/Black interior.

The one thing I notice right off the bat is the extra silver trim on most of the switches and dials. Looks sharp!

Do we know what the difference between black and Sline Black is? Just Sline details on wheel, seats?

Too bad...I really like the S-Line trim for all that it brings, but I want full leather seats...as of right now looks like thats not possible.
