Apparently I am about to drive my parents to pick up their new GTI Autobahn, because my Mom hates parking the A6. Sadly, my Mom wouldn't be talked into the correct color.

lol.
I tried really hard to sell her on cornflower. Not persuaded. It’s too bad, because it looks even better in person.

These wheels are a LOT better. Also, my parents say that there is a major ride quality improvement with DCC.
My quick drive impressions are that it’s OK, but not great. Notwithstanding what my parents wanted, the Autobahn is a terrible value.

On the plus side, they got $4k off in the exact spec they wanted. Apparently there were almost no Autobahsn stocked, presumably because that's a hilarious amount of money to charge for a GTI.

That's sound logic. But glad they got a good deal! I like the color too.
