Picked it up yesterday, and got hit with a snowstorm today. One comment - I have more fingerprints on the screen than I do miles on the car.

Dude that snow storm was brutal. Normally a 45 commute took over 4 hours. However, the car handled like a beast!! I would see tons of cars stuck on the side of ramps and on the highway (especially a lot of BMW's lol). This car just powered through and not once did it slip. Its unfortunate because I didn't get to take pictures on my DSLR before it got dirty from the snow. I attached a few I took from my phone, but will wash the car and take some nice ones from my good camera this weekend.
(also anyone know what type of mount to use for the rearview mirror on a uniden R3 radar detector?)

Here's a cute trick that Audi pulled with the 2019's: The SIM card for the Audi connect (which used to be removable) is now IMBEDDED in the system and thus cannot be replaced. That means we are stuck with ATT service when the 6 months freebie runs out. So no more Truphone or any of the other reasonable alternatives.

AA7 is right. US DOT regulations require the yellow side marker. Ugly as heck... On my Porsche its a standalone light so I swapped them out for clear markers, but it appears on the new A7 to be integrated into the main light housing.
Enjoying all the pictures and comments... Keep 'em coming!
