    Took delivery of the wife's b8

    2.0t premium plus with nav and sport package.
    very nice car. i'm surprised at how low it is (the roof is roughly the same height as my avant after a suspension install). big, especially compared to my s4. haven't really pushed it or even spent much time with it, but performance seems zippy and the handling is very nice. the tip is much improved over mine. the symphony stereo is way better then the bose in my car (but I tend to think the avant suffers more there, then would a sedan). i like mmi. it's similar to my rns-e, but with more features. the altitude on the nav is a nice touch. The LATCH fittings are much more user friendly, although it took me forever to figure out how to remove the rear headrests (but I think that might be because it was dark in the garage when I was working).

    haven't had a chance to take any decent pictures, but here's a couple of quick ones. I do think the b8 is much better looking in person, then in photos:

    Nice! The low roof height surprised me too. Parked next to my TT, the A4 appears to be only an inch or so taller!

    the new transmissions in the vw/audis are much more smoother and shift much faster.

    Can't say I blame you! I would prefer your Avant over a new B8 as well. They do drive very nicely though (spent time in it at the Audi Driving Experience).
