Fell in love with this car the first moment I saw it!

Currently drive a 2008 A6 4.2 (Phantom Black/Black Interior, with lots of added options......anyone interested in a used A6 with only 26,000 miles?

I'm excited to say the least!

Should have mentioned.....I live in Iowa, (Midwest, USA).

Great to hear man you added a ton of options. Those options must have alone cost more than a normal everymans car lol. How much did it run you total?

Scothawk

To tell you the truth I don't know the cost yet! I'm crazy I know but pricing won't be released until close to delivery. My dealer estimated 95-100k with all the options. Hopefully she's close!

You ordered pretty much the same equipment setup (delete the B&O; add Panorama Sunroof)that I'm contemplating when I order my car in December.

I'll take a wild guess the MSRP on your car will be about $104,700. So you're probably right around the high-end of your salesperson's estimate on negotiated/sale price.

Can't wait to see how the Nougat Brown looks in real life.

Congrats!!!

Just curious. The panoramic sunroof.... I'm assuming it can't be opened? Also is their an internal cover that can be drawn over it to block light?

The front roof panel can be opened, while the rear tilted---both have interior covers. According to Audi's press information: "Both sections can be tilted up and the front one also opened extra-wide. Sun blinds are provided for both panels to keep out direct sunlight."

...has the front panel sliding over the rear panel when opened. I don't beleive the rear panel tilts on the Merc. If it does on the Audi it is a nice feature.

According to the info on the AoA press site, the rear does tilt up---so, yes, would be a nice feature for those in the rear seats.

However, they don't say anything about whether the rear panel can be tilted with the front roof panel opened---or for that matter, if the front panel can be fully opened the way the standard sunroof can be opened; the description they provide is: "can be opened extra wide". This doesn't necessarily denote that it completely opens. Will have to see what info comes down the pipeline on this.

...the Merc looks very "unusual" with the front panel open and over the rear panel. I passed one of the road the other day really had to look twice at it. Velly Intellestink....ugly, but intellestink
