Default hope aoa is listening, things I would have liked to have included with the RS4: key-less-go, ...etc

for about $75k I wish this car had a few more things included, or atleast optional : ...(puts flame suit on)...i know the wt saving would be marginal, and some are not too practical:

---key-less-go or a real "smart" key would be nice, (not the euro-double step ignition push-after-turning key),
---HUD -a functional heads-up display (and hopefully better than the M5/M6 models),
---a touch-screen navi (and better positioning)...hate to take my eyes off the road, already had a few close calls
---LED lights (mainly rear to give all the other people even faster response to brake!), front LED's perhaps to save more energy
---a real over-drive 6th gear for better highway fuel economy,
---a jack and perhaps a usable spare option,
---lateral thigh/lat support firming with the S-button activation, like the euro-seats
---adaptive cruise control
---clutch-1st gear hill rollback prevention
---LPP/lidadtek or some kind of built-in radar counter measure standard, as this car is deceptively fast!
---night vision/infared vision would be nice too, ...i see lots of deer everyday and its just a matter of time!
---heating/cooling cup holders...lol just joking!

....feel free to op/ed and add to this list

Default Add those things and your closer to $90K, like the M5

I would like a carbon fiber roof with the sunroof delete option.

Yeh, CF roof would be very natural fit for this car.

Default I found most on your list desireable and applicable, except maybe...

the built in radar detector. That presents a legality issue. You need only look at other luxury brands such as Cadillac, Infinity, Lexus, etc to find those as options, on much less expensive cars, no less.

Default The spare would have been nice.

As for the rest, I agree.

Both 5th and 6th are true overdrive already.

Default One option for me...

Less fricken weight! Make the car no more than 3500 lbs (less would be better)... Oh and no DRC please... And since we are at it a big must; a rear LSD!

But it is all irrelevant because I'll never be able to afford one anyway.

Mike, save your money for the b8 330hp TFSI as I am. Maybe we'll see a weight redux too.

So long as they're optional equip. - car doesn't need any more weight or cost.
