Sarafil: Is it already too late to order a pre-facelift A4?

Just curious. It's one of many variables kicking around in my head. If it's already too late, it reduces the count by one.

Re: Sarafil: Is it already too late to order a pre-facelift

I hate the new Audis.

----------------

OT (sorry didn't feel like starting a new thread, but feel free to create one):

This sucks. MB's look beautiful but are pricey and unreliable (electrically). Audis look hideous and are ultra-unreliable (in every way it seems). BMW's are getting too many electro-nannies and are ugly. Porsches are overpriced as all hell and have RMS issues.

What ever happened to the great German brands? Of all these, MB and Porsche at least seem like good cars if you can afford them new. At least you don't look at your own car (in or out) and get acid reflux.

Maybe they will push everyone back into cadillacs. I like mine.

I didn't think the AUDI looked so bad at the auto show. The A3 was probably my favorite new car there.

Honestly... my two A4's have been no less reliable than the E46 was.

That is good news. I'd love to hear that an A4 3.0 Avant is reliable.

Maybe late, but from my understanding, yes... Face-lifted A4s are already sitting at port.

The face-lifted Audis look better in person than they do in photos. I think the A6 looks okay in its new skin, but I still can't get used to the A4's big old gappy grille. Maybe, if I had a Euro plate to cover up the expanse of black plastic in the middle there, I'd like it better.
