    Old N Grumpy, I like what I hear about the engine and transmission on the new wing. However, I definitely am not in a hurry to trade in my 16 for one and start out a note that big. I'm looking forward to test riding both the 6 speed and the DCT. But buying will have to wait a couple of years to let the bugs get addressed and for depreciation to take its effects. And like you, I really like the looks of the current B's. Those saddlebags are beautiful. They strike me as a modern version of the elegant and adventurous styling of the '59 cars, the year of the fin. Plus, the bags are bigger!

    I'm confused. Will an Android cell phone work with this model as well as a IPhone?

    Yes, it will. However, you won't be able to use Android Auto or whatever their infotainment pairing setup is called. You will still be able to connect via Bluetooth and/or USB, like you can on any car made in the last four or five years.
