New 2011 A8 Ordered
My current ride is a 2010 Q5 prestige. It handles very similar to my A6. I downgraded/downsized from my '08 Q7, just too large and more of a truck for me.
I just placed an order for '11 A8, chose Beige (Impala metallic) with Nougat Beige interior. Went for the cold weather, convenience and premium package, night vision and full LED headlights. Hope I made the right choice in building the car. I really don't like lane assist or adaptive cruise control. I could not order side assist by itself.

Congrats! The only other "must haves" that I'd consider ordering are Leather Package 1 which includes leather wrapped center console, door armrests,and airbag cap (optional on NWB), and also the dual pane acoustic glass (option on NWB & LWB).
Again, congrats.
Again, congrats.

Since US pricing for the 2011 A8 is not available. I thought you would like to see a picture of the window sticker for a NWB A8 showing the MSRP of some of the options of the launch vehicle.

I couldn't agree more, I couldn't have the car without leather 1. It really makes the car inside. It can still be changed up until it's close to build week though. I tried to add rear assist too late unfortunately.

After I saw the car in person, I went to the sales manager and changed my order to include the leather package. Since the car is not yet in production, I was able to add without a problem. So my car is now configured as:
Savanna Beige, Nougat Brown interior
Cold Weather Package
Premium Package
Convenience Package
Leather Package
Full LED Headlights
Night Vision Assistant
Pricing is not available yet, but based on the launch vehicle, this should be around $90K.

I also went back to my dealer yesterday to add the leather. They had their 2011 Demo which was configured the same as the one posted here. I really didn't like the Nougat Brown as much in person so I changed to Beige interior. I think it will look good with the Black exterior.
The car did drive very nicely, more pick up than my '09 which was surprising, the new motor only makes a few more HP, maybe the new tranny helps acceleration.
They didn't have any information regarding the Google Maps feature other than it wasn't on the demo, does anyone here know the status?
The dealer also said that I am the only order so far, I would have thought that they would have more by now.
