Scroll down to the pricing with options.

Default Wow, 54 grand isnt bad and I really do appreciate a company that allows you to pick out...

each option you like. I like that about Porsche even more. If you want more grippy seats you can have them. If you dont want a sunroof bc you want better handling dynamics, no problem. If you want the smaller, lighter wheels, no prob. I like that. How about being able to order the car without the electronic damper control? That would save me thousands since i'd be ripping out that system anyways. Wish you could order it without their servotronic steering though.

do you appreciate a company that allows dealers to add a 'market adjustment' to their cars?

Default unless it should be std equip

Mike, car companies reverting to low std equip levels isn't out of generosity, but a matter of greed for more profits.

BMW and Porsche are notorious for setting a huge premium on the "car" and it's alleged superior engineering, and then letting you pay through the nose to equip it in a reasonable way. shame on them.

Default no, absolutely hate it when I see Audi dealers doing that

But there's an *** for every seat so I can't really blame them.

Default Even if you load it then you are talking 70 grand. That's nothing...

which is IMO what it is worth. And I don't want half the options Audi forces you to buy. To me it is a dealbreaker that I found they now force you to put on a sunroof. What I am saying is that the only option I would put on that car is maybe the $700 upgraded stereo and the $700 bluetooth. I dont want a company to force me into putting a 40lb sunroof on my car or buying a $4000 package when all I want is a couple options and some of the options that are forced i absolutely do not want. But again, even if you were some one who had to have all the options and even those that detract from the car like the electric dampers the car is still only running around 70 grand with tax and title. How is that forcing you to an unreasonable price?

Default i like the RS4 options: all or nothing, keeps it simple. and really, when you're

buying that kind of car, most people would get it loaded. so it's a joke to say the MSRP is 54K.

the difference is that Audi discourages it, BMW doesn't.
