[QUOTE="kuntakinte, post: 665802, member: 15653"] I've checked the Audi uk configurator and find most, if not the most expensive options are already ticked and I still get GBP52k including VAT I got lost in the Deutschland configurator. The only word I know there is Achtung! Anyway, we can whine the whole day over this yet its not gonna change the price of $280k before options. I sneaked out to Audi today and managed to test drive the German slut. I must say I came away fully impressed with its performance and handling. Tho' It was a short stint, I tried a drag race to butt dyno the torque and slow start stop go to assess the feel of the EV mode, brake regeneration. - the engine was started before you knew it. It's eerily quiet - the torque on high boost felt more like the 420nm in my 320d than the claimed 480nm. The difference being its a petrol engine, the torque pulls thru the revs effortlessly and kept asking to be pushed. Very torquey like a diesel - as with most hybrids, brake regeneration may need some getting used to as the motor grabs the brakes on the slightest tap, coming to a progressive smooth halt needs some adaptation - you find yourself naturally wanting to invoke the battery drivetrain as much as possible cos the graphics encourages one to take a gaming like encouragement to work towards it - The auto start stop and the switch between battery and engine is super seamless, you can't feel a hint at all. I came with a cheque book but Alas, the darn boot, that darn boot space! Damn! Will be bringing my home minister over again this weekend to make the final decision. Meanwhile, estimated Delivery is now up to June July [/QUOTE]
