One issue I am working thru at the moment is the Drivers Assistance Pkg (PCU) is ONLY available on Prestige models of the Sportback (according to the lates buying guide dated 9 MAR).

This is a deviation from the guide posted on here earlier which showed it being available for all trim levels.

It is only available on prestige. And the bulbs in the lower grille are radars for adaptive cruise, not fog lights.

Hope this helps...

Ok, I think I've got my order pretty much nailed down now... I can live with the rims since they look fine in person. I've been admiring there Sportback since I moved to Germany a few years ago and now I can finally buy one and bring it back to the US with me. I wish it can in diesel but that's a minor quibble. The A5 suits me fine and I just don't need the S5. If I were staying in Germany longer then I could justify it (kinda) since the slow lane on the autobahn runs about 100 mph and the it isn't unusual to cruise 130+ mph in the fast lane (not unusual to be passed by a Skoda at those speeds tho ). But in the US, this just isn't going to be an option unfortunately...

N8-

Spent more than 10 years living in Germany with the military. Do yourself another favor and visit the Audi factory in Neckarsulm. It is really nice. Its right up the road from you, on the way to Heidelberg. Wish I could get back there...maybe to visit my mother-in-law...one day...enjoy the life...
