Since I'm in Germany for the time being, I'm taking advantage of easy access to Audi accessories at non-$tupid US dealership prices.
First i got a set of sport pedals and this evening I stopped by my local Audi Zentrum and picked up an all-weather matt for the luggage compartment. The dealer had one in stock but it was in an Ibis White S-Line in the showroom. He gave me 10% off the price which came to $68* (after converting € to $) - plus I got to check out an A5 that is spec'd like the one I have on order
The movers arrive this morning to start packing up the house for our return to the US, I wish it was possible to stay another 4-5 years, but it isn't. It would have been fun cruising the Autobahn in my new A5 SB. It sucks to leave this country of responsible & good drivers and return to the chaos of the US roads.
My sales agent said it have my VIN before we fly out on the 10th of May, so it won't be too long of a wait once we hit Colorado.
Found out today my vehicle is on the car carrier Columbia Highway which is currently offloading Audis in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The Columbia Highway should then sail to Houston, TX where my ride will be offloaded, processed at Customs and loaded on a truck to Denver, CO. ETA Houston: 8 June.
Sportback's in US have the fog lights built into the headlight units. Bottom of the bumper gets occupied by radar sensors for adaptive cruise control... Left button from the headlight switch will be the fog lights.
You got a great great combination, but only thing I would add is the 'WARM WEATHER PACKAGE" it has a nicer leather, and plus you benefit from ventilated seats...

*I could have done without this but... I've never owned an Audi before (always bought Toyotas since the early '80s) and the one person I know who did, owned a early 80's model that was fraught with problems. So this cost was simply for my peace of mind and I hope to never use it.
