20 inch wheel package all season tires
cold weather package
plus destination charge
Car is pretty well spec’d, but unfortunately appears it doesn’t have the HD Matrix Head light/OLED Tail light combo package. Would be a deal killer for me. Like the pearl beige interior, but will likely be real tough to keep clean.

Interesting fact. B&O Advanced 3D sound system on the A6 = spare tire delete. On the A8, the spare tire is still there!!!
The A6 has a spare tire its in the 2019 A6 Order guide

If you add the advanced 3d sound system you lose the spare.

Oh nop i wouldnt want that reason i dont have the diesel

sorry misread what you said about the BO Advance you'll lose the spare tire.
wonder on earth they'll do that to take that space for the amp?
i'll stay with the base and little of what a car should have.

From the pics it appears the headlights are the standard LED units, not HD Matrix. The lighting package likely refers to the advance interior lighting setup.

Edit- Never mind...I just opened the pic on my computer (not iphone), and the larger image does look like the HD Matrix unit. My mistake.

Here is the thing on these new cars for the future technological ideas.
there is no discount, they are not honoring the Affinity Program known as the Audi Club of NA
only the loyal program of $1000.00
and the incentive of $3000.00
that is all they have to offer in discounts.
other than that its full price.
The A6's has no incentives only the loyal program.

With a 25 year relationship with my Audi dealer, I would expect some consideration on price beyond the AFS loyalty/incentive discounts. But then again, I'm not presently in the market.
