Looks good. I'm looking to get a 2006 and was curious what the A6 paddle set up would look like. 
Haven't heard 415HP yet. Is this for sure or just a rumor?

A great looking setup. GM is to be commended on this one. Wonder if this will be an option or standard on the auto? If so, how much extra. I have been waiting patiently to order the 2006 and will do it as soon as ordering is available (probably late July). This really wets my appetitite.

Can't see it or read the post. Not everyone here is a member of digitalcorvettes. Some forget that.
Also, this is only the 3rd thread on the same subject.

That new steering wheel looks like a BMW wheel. I like it, though I don't know if the paddles look like they are in a comfortable spot to use them. It's going to require a bit of a reach with your thumbs from the way the pictures look.

Nice spy.
On the paddles, do you beleive these paddles are thumb operated?
Recall the Pontiac with a similar design, yet the buttons where difficult to reach requiring a puch forward on the right to upshift and and a push left for downshift.
Any scope if these are acually two way paddles or are they just one way buttons? (I hope I am describing my question clearly)
