The Crown package is the only thing I've been told was coming up. A dealer mentioned it to me in early August, so no secret there. |

The details on the Crown package have been on multiple dealer's sites for a while, so while it isn't on FR's site yet I'm comfortable posting this since the dealers have already done so:
-Jensen "Bluetooth" AM/FM/CD/DVD Stereo w/Wire Remote Control
-Two Interior Speakers -Two Exterior Speakers -Keyless Entry Door Lock -Residential Goose Neck Faucet w/Pull Out Sprayer -Pleated Shades I got a chuckle on the "keyless entry". I immediately got visuals of walking up to my pod, pulling out a remote and hearing it go "beep-beep" with the exterior lights flashing, like a car does.

And hopefully no offense caused to those that have been sitting on this info - you did a good job keeping the secret. I should have posted it when I first found out on 8/2 but it just completely slipped my mind. I was the first to post about the 178, for instance. That said, if I had been told and was asked to keep the secret I would have until FR announced it. I keep secrets and promises.... just ask my kids. Keeping my word has worked for and against them at times, lol.

Another thing to consider. Chances are the 2014 models will be higher-priced. I keep vehicles a long time and buy last year's model, and would do the same if I were buying a new TT to keep for several years. But, maybe the price increase, if any, will be insignificant.

The best I can say is.. we bought our Pod 2 years ago for a very good price, our neighbor and camping buddy just bought a '13 177 from the same dealer, and paid about $450 more.. |

And I'll add this. I was just quoted a price on the 178 (with all options) that was only about $500 more than a quote from the same place for a 2010 171 (with all options).

Upsizing? Kids grow fast.. The 178 is a fantastic floor plan.. we are sure we would buy that if buying new now. |
