Default A6 (C8 Platform) Thread

I don't see a thread for A6 (C8 Platform). I know they won't be out until Oct 2018 but a separate thread for A6 C8 would be good.

I find the lack of US availability of Traffic Jam Pilot to be a disappointment. I have Traffic Jam Assist (part of the DAP package on my 2018 S4) and one of the issues I have with it is the 3-second Automatic Go parameter, it should be at least 30 seconds. I did, however, read that it can be set to a bit higher duration (close to 15 seconds). The point is, the new A6 (C8) has the tech, yet we won't get it. Overall, though the new A6 looks like a welcome upgrade all around.

But most of the reviews are for the ROW. By the time it gets to the US most of the latest in high tech features will be left off.

We have all seen what it looks like and all the reviews tout its features but most of the new features won’t make it to the USA. The US recipients will mainly pay for the features development but we won’t see them until the marketers and the US government get their finger out.
