Or, more accurately:

All Models - scrapped the stupid useless dorky-looking
miniature passenger side mirrors and went back to the
good ones we've had for decades.

'BOUT FRICKIN TIME! I was told all A6s from now on would be
auto only (tiptronic I guess). I wish they'd do the AVANT in
standard, too. I hate these games with Audi deciding what
we really want/like.

Interesting idea.
