Nope. You can't get the A6 on the 2015 C7 so they will leave the option price the same. That's good marketing.

I can see the price being a bit higher just due to price increases for the new model year. But if the A6 had remained, it may have increased also.

I do not expect I will have to so admit.

But it is important to you and not to me so I likely will not notice unless you tell me.

OK Laborsmith...........pricing has been released and the MSRP for the new 8 speed is listed as $1,725! I said it would be at least $1,600........and you said it'd be the same $1,200 as the A6..............so who was right and who was wrong

You had the right of it and I the wrong. You would still have had the right of it if I had stuck with my original $100 increase inclination.

I also expected a 1% to 2% increase in the base price and that turned out to be wrong.
