    Saw this B9 A4 sline coming up on me this am. I was on the 101 heading southbound right near 405 interchange. The headlight matrix was a dead give away. Grabbed a few photos. Manufacturer license plate and a baby car seat in the rear.

    Nice!

    I'm really loving that aggressive front end. IMO back lights are a little out of proportion. Those lights work on an A3/S3 but look small on the wider a4 body

    I agree. The front looks good but the back not so much.

    I would say in heavy traffic keep your hands on the wheel and stop taking pictures. Innocent people don't want to die.

    Thanks for judging, but I was in my Tesla and had autopilot engaged. No hands required.

    The accountants, they didn't feel like having to crash test (very expensive) the manuals for probably only what 10% of us who want manuals? BMW is saying thank you, I'll take those customers who don't just want to put there car in D.

    The A4 B9 will eventually have a manual option according to this link. It looks like the S4 will not have that option, however.

    The B9 is now for sale in Europe, and does have an optional 6 speed manual there- but only available with FWD.

    So, that would be the cheapest model offered and the cheapest for any road taxes based on weight or mpg. Tax calculations are one reason there are still so many manuals in Europe, and a high percentage on small cars.

    It appears to be a US version (orange side marker).... maybe it's just a bit of a visual mind screw.

    Thats one reason but I would say that cars in general are to expensive here and automatics is normally a premium option. We have always been to cheap to buy auto's =)

    Me too. Looks like it should fold up and down automatically. I had a Q3 for a loaner and kept waiting for the display to fold down. I kept pushing it and pulling it only to realize it's fixed. Lol

    Hell, even my old 2011 Caddy does that.

    That's strange, Q3:s display is manually folded up and down.

    Looked like it should have been. Maybe I wasn't pulling/pushing on it right. I didn't want to break the loaner. :-)
