A6 4.2 Delivery Today!
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/Mvc-001s.jpg"></center><p>"D" day finally arrived. Simply stated, it was worth the wait, and more than I had hoped for. Only 97 miles on the clock so a detailed review will have to wait.
I opted for a tungsten gray interior to contrast the black. A great choice for a right brained, visually reactive person like me! (IMHO) Really enjoyed having the car sit in the ready area, nobody could walk on the lot without doing a full
360 around the car.
The sport seats, suspension, and wheels are a nice addition to the original offering. I can appreciate where a larger person might feel cramped. I was unsure as to how much I would like the upgrade wheels over the dreaded Pie Plate version- I don't think many would argue that this is an improvement.
The ride is certainly not a cushy limo type ride, you can tell it is set up to take
corners hard without body lean. It does! Couldn't help but laugh when a GS-400 rolled up beside me and took a hard look, he wanted to play but with
35 miles on the OD I just smiled! Hope that R/T gets one of these and does a re-test soon. This car doesn't get the press respect it deserves.
Don't plan on adding a second cup holder if you order ESP, the on/off switch
voids that alternative.
I promised Ivan at University Audi that I would post his picture and my car just before driving off the lot. So, Ivan- promise made and promise kept, just like
you!

Congrats Chrisls (more)
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/side.JPG"></center><p>I see that you got the other flat pie plate tiers. I have the pie tiers that some don't like but that's ok. I think they are neat and cool. It's all up to you about what you want to think. I know someone that thinks his Geo Metro is the best car in the world even after driving my car. I guess the point of this post is to say congratulations and good luck in the long run. Your car is beautiful. If it were my A6, I couldn't stomach black. But I can see it fits you well. Enjoy!!
