    Since your wife still has a '11, I was wondering if you could tell me if the floor mats in the '11 are the same as those in the '12? I'm thinking there is nothing new in a '12 that would warrant different floor mats, but I just wanted to be sure.

    I agree 100%.

    People love to waste money. The worse thing is the way they try to justify it. I here all kinds of stories on why they need a new car ever 2-3 years. Like job requires it. 99% of the time that is not true.

    They appear to be the same. The mats in the '10 were made of heavy black rubber.

    "Another new car" This is what my neighbor said when I traded my '09 for a '10!! Whatever your doing keep doing it! '12 looks a little darker than the '10.what color is your '11 and is it a four also? Enjoy!

    Thanks. The color of the '12 is quite a bit darker than the '10. They are both fours. Aside from a few subtle design changes, the only differences I have noticed so far are the HUD and the HD navigation screen. The '11 is red.

    I never really noticed, but it does look that way. In thinking about it a little bit, the mirror on the passenger side needs to be angled back more to provide a similar viewing angle, so it might be that they can get away with a shorter profile on that side.

    Just curious because many euro cars come with "stubby" passenger mirrors for the tight cities. Some of the Audi A4's came here with them.
