I really wanted an Allroad C8 to replace two Allroad C7s but was after a BiTDI which doesn't exist on the C8. So I ended up with an S6 and have found I don't miss the Allroad's softer ride. I do think the C8 Allroad is the best looking C8 though. The C8 is just a development of the C7 really...

Apologies for the very slow reply. You can see quite a few 2022/23 A6 S-line/Black Editions for sale which clearly have the basic LEDs like my 2023 S6. The DRL is ugly, you are correct; what offends me more is the awful looking indicator. The light they emit is OK - it's better if you turn on...

Speculative, you say. If you are using actual data, even if you can’t share it, the numbers would not be just speculative. Your original response reads as personal opinion only with no basis, and that is useful only to you without any evidence.

There are also plenty of 2023 (and possibly 2022?) C8 S-lines/Black Editions/S6s with standard LEDs not matrix because Audi quietly dropped the standard matrix lights. Probably due to parts supply I’d guess.

Do you have any actual references to cite to back that up? Because it looks utterly made up.

Just a thought; shouldn’t this thread be entitled MY24? Because I think my April 2023 built car is MY23 and the configurator since around August has been for the new model year; I couldn’t have got my spec if I placed the order now.

Nice - is that Daytona Grey? I like the short rear plate; it fits unexpectedly well. I had a similar short front plate on a previous car but it was a Japanese import. Would a short plate work on the front too, or is there a moulded plinth which would be visible?

The C8 is only just coming up to a facelift. Surely there won’t be a brand new model next year?

Finally got a decent photo of my S6 Avant. Bought it new in April this year, nearly on 9,000 miles and love it except the creaky dash and random air-con:

The top photo looks brilliant. It’s not as if the 20”s seem small in the real world but that sits so perfectly on those 21”s. Much nicer than the 21” alloys on the Vorprung.

I should have googled harder before posting. Found this:

When I bought my black edition S6 Avant in April the dealer (Stafford Audi) offered me their demonstrator first which wasn’t on site so I didn’t see it. The salesman told me they’d painted the demo car’s wheels black - the exterior was ultra blue. I assumed they were black all over like the ones...

Sounds consistent. I thought the specs would be very easy to check since there are so few options available to choose now; with luck this thread may be useful to anyone ordering a new C8. The lack of TPMS sensors is great from my point of view; far easier to find a second set of alloys for...

I am fairly sure I don't have wireless charging, though since I had that on my C7 and it just toasted the phone without actually putting enough charge in to keep it topped up anyway, I am glad not to have it now. There's definitely a tyre pressure monitoring option in the MMI in mine but I...

I have had a look at this - I assumed it would just list what the standard spec for the car is rather than being specific to my car, but actually I think the data is a bit better than that. It does say 73l tank. Also answers another query I had because my headlights and taillights don't look...
