Am I understanding this correctly? Looking to order an RS4.......
and alcantara isn't available? WTF?
It also looks like CCB's are available in Europe, but not the USA? Why does Audi always stiff us on some level?

It wouldn't surprise me if the brakes didn't come here for warranty reasons...
I know many Audi owners are used to getting free pads and rotors under the service agreement. I got them on my S4.
In Europe, the warranty is only 2 years and you're on your own for all service.

Yea, I can see that. Those rotors are probably $5000+ each. but still.....
....I guess that leaves us with an upgrade option, eh? ;-) "Only" $15,000 - 20,000, and be able to sell the OE US spec brakes.
As for the Alcantara, it may be a while, but finding a B7 S4 in the junkyard, and swapping for the alcantara, would be an option as well.

Not set on anything just yet, still figuring if I can really get one.....
or, more importantly, will the wife stay with me if I get one? ;-P
I'd think at this point, with the car being out for so little time, the "used" ones out there either were bought for investment purposes to "flip" for a profit, or were bought, beaten, and being discarded for some reason. But I'll look into that, thanks for the tip!
