A4 1.8T pricing information

[Scott Stiles <scottst@microsoft.com>]

FYI, I happened to be windowshopping at my local Audi dealer and
stumbled
across ~5 A4 1.8Ts. These were marked "press car" and the salesmen
weren't
able to drive them (or even unlock them) but I did glean a bit of info:

- comes with 15" rims from the A6
- no wood on the dash, it is a "carbon look"
- still has the climate control
- sport package consists of: 16" rims, sport wheel, jacquard cloth
seating and
two very Recaro-like much-adjustable sport seats!
- got the impression that the front of the car rides a bit higher than
on the 2.8,
you don't think they're using the same springs do you?
- car is ~100lbs lighter than the 2.8
- from the literature, I think the 1.8 is missing the center storage
console
- leather is not avail. in the 1.8

Car configured the way I want it:
- A4 1.8T base ~23k
- Quattro 1.6k
- Sport pkg 1k
- Destination .5k
Total: ~$26k, pretty darn reasonable for a turbo-quattro me thinks.

FYI, sunroof is $1100! no thanks.
