Bugs in Early D4s?
I know it is a bit premature, but how long into the first year of the D3 cycle was it before most of the production bugs were worked out?
I will be coming up on 100k on my 2006 A8, and would like to replace it with a new one, but am a bit shy about being an early buyer.

As I recall, MY 2006 was the 1st real "trouble free" year where problems became the exception,not the norm. That made it the 3rd year of the U.S. spec D3.

If I were to be dropping that much money into a car it sure as hell wouldn't be the first year of the redesign. Always allow one year for them to workout the kinks in their new systems. After all seeing the new A8 theirs quite a few new things.
P.S. I don't peronally fancy the interior of the new A8, seems a bit cluttered, and the seats look well not very attractive

Have you even seen the D4 A8 in person yet, Brozee? My guess is no (but I could be wrong, of course ). If you have not yet seen the D4 A8 in person, my advice to you, Brozee, is to wait until you see the car in person before making such comments.

Yes, I actually sat in it during the auto show just recently. I believe I misused the term cluttered. I just believe that they could have chosen a more attractive approach at organizing the buttons and armrest console that's all.

That said, I may be ordering a D4 a couple of months after the Nov 2010 U.S. launch---for an April 2011 delivery when my current D3 lease ends.
No guts, no glory :^)

I may not wait that long...
I own my '06 and really want a new car around the first of the year. Gotta look at the new Jag and the updated 750.
I would trust 1st year Audi a LOT more than 1st year Jag, but.....
