Last Saturday I was about to sign the check for a Pearl Green Audi A2 FSi w/OpenSky and beige interiors.
The only thing that stopped me was the salesman mentioning the possibility to get an ex-demo FSi with less than 500 miles (800 km) for less than 17.000 euro.
This morning, as I got into the office, I began to talk about the car with two of the designers that work here and one of them mentioned that the OpenSky option is very prone to filtering and that Audi is about to stop the production of the A2 soon. I could not believe it! It is a fantastic car, I said.
He promptly sent me three links (one in Spanish from a renowned newspaper and two in German from Die Welt) in which Bernd Pischetsriede talks about running out the production of the A2 in a foreseeable future.
Have you guys heard or read anything about this? I really love the car and have waited a long time for the possibility of having the FSi with the OpenSky option, but do not want to spend that money if Audi stops manufacturing the A2 soon.
On the other hand, is the A2 w/ Open Sky fitted as safe (and waterproof) as the regular one? I would like to have some word about this to choose between the custom built and the one the salesman offered for inmediate delivery.

Thanks in advance for your thoughs.
I would hate to buy any other car.
