If only I could have one. On a weekly basis I go to Audi.Co.Uk and observe the items that we don't get and I can't afford. Haha.

Nah I went for the black on black alcantara. although they had one with red when I got mine, same build black ext, w black / red interior and I seriously contemplated it, but alcantara stays cooler when your car sits in the desert sun all day.

Oh good, I thought I killed you for a second...

Yes the worlds most awfully programmed and built seven speed dual clutch transmission. They apparently worked out all the bugs for the B8.5 release.

The B8.5 was a nice fface lift, Didn't they offer the 6 speed with the S4 though?

Like the picture!

The did, but they don't really sell around here (nothing with a manual does) and I would have had to wait 8 months at that time had I ordered.

It makes me think maybe the key to all this is lobbying for better import laws. Frankly im sure making a case for a wide release of specific models like this could be made by many but maybe not enough...but as a whole, consumers who want new foreign cars that arent available here, there would be greater numbers to get things done.

That's a long time to wait. It's too bad that nobody buys manuals anymore, besides enthusiasts.

I know! And it frustrates the crap out of me. If they offered one there would be very little question what my next new car would be.

Thing is, they still bothered to bring 300 RS4 Cabs here...which sold very, very poorly. It's illogical to think an RS4 Avant would not sell better.
