Ordered a 2015
First off, thanks to all of you who answered all of my newbie questions and helped me with my decision to go with my first Audi. I really wanted pricing to be posted prior to ordering so I would know the exact cost when I walked out of the dealership but the fact I need a September delivery made me go ahead and take the plunge.
2015 A6 3.0T Prestige (inc full LED headlights, warm weather pkg, HUD, Bose)
Phantom Black/Nougat/Fine Grain Ash/Black Headliner
19 inch Sport Pkg
Cold Weather Pkg
Driver Assistance Pkg
I will be leasing for business purposes so do you think its worth it to go with Opticoat Pro? Xpel Ultimate looks very interesting, but I don't know if I want spend that kind of money on a car I don't actually own. Also, from reading the forums I know people have signed up and get email updates on their order for when a production date is determined, shipping dates, etc. Where do I go to sign up for that or is it something I need to go through my dealer for? I definitely plan on getting the Ross-Tech to do some VAG-COM mods. Any other advice for a first time Audi owner?

Sorry I cannot help with our question regarding production status updates. I wanted to congratulate you and say that the no-cost black headliner in my opinion is what will totally make the car feel great. I had three Audi's since 2005 with the dull grey headliner and then my 2013 A6 came with the black headliner (I buy in-stock and lucked out). For me this completely changes the experience from the driver's seat and should be the standard color Audi uses - so much classier! Good luck and keep us posted.

This. Not to hijack the thread but, the black should be standard and the grey should be the no cost option. I had a 2013 A6 with the black headliner but recently traded for an A7 that had everything except the black headliner and somehow it is a completely different feel. Definitely a good choice.

On another note, my sales rep emailed me and told me Audi had finally posted pricing! I haven't seen anything from him yet, but I'm sure someone on here with better connections than I will be posting the updated 2015 order guide on here soon.

I am 6’ 2”, not so tall, but I guess a bit above average. I don’t feel that the black headliner makes me feel confined. The lightness of the standard grey compared to the darkness of the optional black is not the issue. I have seen lighter headliners in other brands (tan, silver, grey; Lexus, Infiniti to name two) that are fine. The issue to me is the particular Puke Grey that Audi has, for reasons I cannot imagine, selected. So much else about Audi's design/style aesthetic and interior finish is top notch, but the grey headliner: not so much. Anyway, my 2 cents.
