Default Those lucky Germans!

I was just doing a side by side comparison to see how the prices of Audis sold in America in the east coast compared to Germany and noticed some very interesting things. First of all in Germany you have the option to select a 2.0 TFSI quattro with 200 hp or a 2.0 TFSI quattro with 220 hp (not to metion the diesel engine option)! They also get more acess to different pearl effect colors, and a shitload more interior upholstry options including some "Audi exsclusive line" I don't know about since I can't read German!

That would be tight as hell. I wonder if they could somehow incorporate that into the loan, lol.

Volvo has a program where they pay for you and someone else to fly to sweden and stay over night topick up your car. They have you drive the car around for a bit and then they sell you that same car and save tons when the ship it due to the growing taxes on the corperate import of "new" vehicles! Imagine if Audi were to do something like that...
