2019 A4 Allroad is still listed in Audi USA.

Unknown if it's continuing to 2020 & beyond, though.

Eh, some of the rentals were pretty beat up. Some had less than 1000mi on clock. Drove a '19 Navigator with 400mi on the odo...nice suv. The V seats look damn nice though, steering wheel/dash/center armrest looks pretty bad still

The V is a cut above but really the interior wasn't any more upgraded than Betty's SRX was...
the seats probably make the difference in feel, which I didn't have anyway. That's not to say it wasn't
perfectly adequate but it didn't scream luxurious either. Felt solid, lots of plastic but I don't think that's a
bad thing.
What I couldn't get over was a 2013 without streaming bluetooth on a 65K vehicle.

I've worked on a lot of C6/C7 interiors before. I will say that it's quality is very, very shitty. Cadillac isn't much better.

Their OEM Alcantara wheels are horribly wrapped too!

they know their target audience aren't high brow cucky pretentious assholes still mad about the outcome of WWII though!
over a 1995 king ranch f150 though, the GM quality is out of this world!

Dude, I had tried the CUE system in something and was super relieved that there not that in the V.
I guess no matter what, there will be complaints.

Mid level trim on my rental rides, but defnitely not top end Platinum/V spec of course. I think they were luxury trim? Luxury level rental cars, at least with national, they order mid level trims.

That photo...GM knows how to take best photos...those seats are definitely better. But the dash and steering wheel....same thing as basic trim except some nicer/softer leather in certain areas. CUE/glossy black infotainment is total crap.

Damn, I thought everyone said C7 is like way better now...guess not. With your business, makes it better right.

C8 looks like in press photos but I wonder how the real world quality is on that also.....

C7 with high trims was okay since it came with some Alcantara trims inside but the fit and finish for C7 in general was terrible. Some parts were literally thin plastics.

It's pretty dumb for a premium sports car.

I still remember sitting in a 2G CTS-V at an auto show for the first time. I was smitten with the alcantara Recaros - and it was a Manuel.

Without a doubt, as much as it may have improved,I can make an educated guess that the interior of the C8 is nowhere near as quality as its competitors. But if the interior is ultimately a dealbreaker, it isn't the car for you in the first place

Competitors for a mid engine exotic looking car?
Wouldn't you take donkey leather over Corinthian to save 100 grand?

I would imagine people who are shopping for 200-300k+ mid engined exotics probably don't care about "saving" 100k...some of them it's pocket change....Pretty hilarious how some people think the C8 is going to destroy markets for other mid engined car makers....but poor plebs like me would definitely take that 100k savings though!

Well, I didn't mean the demographic that can afford a supercar...they would NOT take the savings to have shitty interiors.
I meant the guy that could never dream of owning a car that is perceived as exotic with performance to match.
