Well, good for you US guys, price parity is still not a reality for us Canadians. 

But my post was about availability, not price, mainly because I was sure that Audi did not supply them anymore. Maybe it was because I was not able to find the part number in ETKA ? I had to ask a UK guy, James at kvquattro.com, to finally have a valid part number. That's why I wanted to post, to keep it in the archives.

About the car under the antenna, we got snow yesterday and it was my first stint since the engine rebuilt : these cars are really made for snow duty, much more fun than any ESP-ed AWD newer cars. There is a snow lapping event for me this January for sure.

I am driving an A5 this week : not much mileage yet, 'cause tires are 255/35ZR19 PZero Rosso's... It looks very good, though. And it is not bigger (inside) than the urq : same cosy feeling, same good visibility, much more powerful (V6 3.2). I hope I will be able to drive it a bit in the twisties...
