New Audi A4 has three versions for 2.0 TFSI;
Premium -- from $32700
Premium Plus -- from $36700
Prestige -- from $40000

you know S line is a must for an audi

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
S line Package (contains Perlnappa Leather Upholstery with Sport Seats and Alcantara leather with embossed S line logo in the front seat backs)

19" wheel ("S line" design) with high-performance tires
Shift paddles (for Tiptronic models)
Sport seat
Lumbar for both front seats
Sport steering wheel
Sport suspension
S line front and rear bumpers
Side rocker moldings
S line badges on fenders, steering wheel, and door sills
S line steering wheel with badge and stitching
Brushed aluminum trim from quattro GmbH
Sport seat with S line leather/Alcantara upholstery
Black headliner
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This option is only available with the "prestige" model...

2.0 TFSI Prestige starts from $40k

with s-line and navi the price is $45k, and with audi drive select $48k

And the 3.2 fsi S-line + navi is 49k...

I do not understand why S line is not an option for cheaper versions? the price is really high

Edit: I looked at the germany price list, you can not take s-line option with base model, you must first take the ambition package, but the percentage of difference from base package to ambition is 5.6%, but in US you must pay 22% more than base model

Also in europe S line includes standart 18'' wheels, 19'' is optional, but in US 19'' is standart.

Kinda high, not much. Audi stepped up their game on the B8 A4. It isn't say 335i quick, but more luxurious. It looks nice. But I somewhat agree about the price. At that price, I'd get an A5, which is quite sexy.

Too expensive.

The S line option is like putting M badges on the 328. Why do you want the S line? All it gets you are branded logos on a car that's not a real S. You'd be a lot smarter to get the stuff that really matters, and not some silly ass S markings. And the 18" wheels are a better ride on the Audi than the 19". Anyway, you can always get aftermarket wheels later if you feel so inclined. The only thing you'll be out is the Alcantara inserts (which stuck to my shirt the last time I drove an Audi with Alcantara on a hot day) and black headliner. Some poseur cosmetics and the difference between "summer performance" and "high performance" tires. But you'll be putting on better tires on your own sooner or later anyway.

Here's the S line option:

S line Package (contains Perlnappa Leather Upholstery with Sport Seats and Alcantara leather with embossed S line logo in the front seat backs)
19" wheel ("S line" design) with high-performance tires
Shift paddles (for Tiptronic models)
Sport seats
Lumbar for both front seats
Sport steering wheel
Sport suspension
S line front and rear bumpers
Side rocker moldings
S line badges on fenders, steering wheel, and door sills
S line steering wheel with badge and stitching
Brushed aluminum trim from quattro GmbH
Sport seat with S line leather/Alcantara upholstery
Black headliner

And here's the sport option (minus the S badges and other cosmetics):
18" Sports Package (contains Perlnappa Leather Upholstery with Sport Seats)
18" wheel with summer performance tires
Shift paddles (for Tiptronic models)
Sport seats
Lumbar for both front seats
Sport steering wheel
Sport suspension

So, you get the same performance but minus the cosmetics for $1000 less. These manufacturer's aren't dumb. They add non-performance cosmetics and crank up the cost. It seems to work.

well, for most consumers it is about looks and not performance...so this is smart on Audi's part. Personally, I would never buy an audi a4 without the s-line package because, to me, the car looks bland as hell without it. the cosmetics that come with the s-line help to spice things up.

Audi FTL though...so extravagantly overpriced. 49k? srsly?

the S-line is more like the M sport package. You can't be mad at audi for this, bmw does the same thing. M sport steering wheel, M shifter, Mtech kit, etc...all the same idea.

[silver]

yes Bmw M pack, Audi S line and Mercedes AMG pack is all same...

but these kits are not special to M,S or AMG models, they give a sporty look

to more ordinary models... They never come close to a M or AMG models with these kits...

[rubber_ducky]

I agree that the S-line package is a must. And it's just like the M-sport package that BMW makes available on it's non-US cars.

To the OP... you didn't mean tiptronic did you? DSG perhaps? I believe that they did away with the tiptronic tranny or are they still using it on the frontrak cars?

[silver]

Audi is using tiptronic for A4, not DSG (S tronic)

This will be changing very soon, the Q5 is only orderable with DSG so the MLP chassis setup is design to run this with no mod at all. Give it six months at the most before the change over will happen.

it bothers me that Audi only offers the S line interior in black.

They offer a nice red on the TT a brown on the A5, but only tan/grey/black on the volume leader A4.

after having terra, I can't see every going back to a plain interior again
