D4 S8, not that thread is necessary...

[UrS6]

The D4 S8 is a sweet ride, for sure.

There's one thing that has prevented me from considering it as my next ride - the lack of a folding rear seatback. May not seem important to some, but I use this feature and the extra cargo capacity it provides regularly, and it would be a bummer not having it.

There's no question that the 4.0TT is underrated in ALL of its applications - any number of dyno tests plus all of the performance figures back this up.

I couldn’t agree more. I ski solo quite often so I was disappointed when I realized the seat didn’t fold and my car doesn’t have a ski pass through. It wouldn’t have stopped me from getting it but now I need to buy a ski rack because I don’t honk my skis will fit in the trunk and I don’t like laying them on a seat.

I was told by an Audi rep that there are electronics mounted on the bulkhead between the back seat and the trunk, so a fold-down seat isn't possible. Not sure about whether a ski pass-through is/was available, though that's also something that I've used frequently on all of my Audis...
