Basically, adding a few dealer accessories and a software update makes it a new variant!

This is more than likely just to get rid of existing stock by 'making it more attractive' to make way for the new generation.

I find it really funny that these companies all have to make a "Get rid of them before the new one comes" edition every single time

Instead they might as well offer heftier discounts and be done.

Espresso machine!!

Why do they even waste their time launching these ? Just discount the car further and get rid of the stocks!

And at a wrong place

Audi is trying all tricks from the book to get the stock cleared. It is already heavily discounted (ex-showroom = OTR) and still finding no buyers.

They just got too late in introducing the new A6 and lost the game to BMW big time.

Discount is not good enough, hence no buyers. The 530i was going for 50L OTR in December. Why would anyone buy an old school A6 for the same price?!

Audi needs to bring the OTR in the mid or early 40s to clear stocks. A damn espresso machine ain't gonna cut it, it's a PR gimmick as journalists might get excited with this "First of it's kind in India" feature! Consumers ain't gonna care about it at all.

True that.

Buyers know it better than Audi and so this gimmick will not work.

Yes, a friend bought one. Similar quotes were mentioned in the New car price thread here too.

I think this month end might see similar deals too.
