As far as the standard equipment... they are pretty much the same.
I do like the fact that the black one is newer. Although I have a black Audi as my daily and it's hard to keep clean.
Thanks!
Hi,

Differences between the '00 and '01:
  • 1. The Intermediate Shaft was changed to a Tooth-type chain from a roller-type. This required modifications to the crank, tensioners and sprockets - not considered a good move - this is where most of the IMS failures come from.

    2. PSM replaced Traction Control as an option.

    3. Dual Cupholders - standard - considered the worst in all Cardom.

    4. Ambient LEDs were added to the Interior Illumination.

    5. 3-spoke Steering Wheel w/ colored crest replaced the 4-spoke of earlier years.

    6. Car keys also got a colored crest.

    7. Optional electrochromic mirrors were available.

    8. Roll Bar padding was softened.

    9. Deck Lids switched from Front manual/Rear electric to both electric.

    10. Interior Headliner made standard on all models (standard on 'S' only in '00), main top bow modified to accept the change.

    11. Individual key programming was added to the Memory Seat option.

    12. Upgraded audio optional and Door Speaker enclosures increased from 3 liters to 5.

    13. Rain Sensing Wipers made optional.

    14. PCM option upgraded to 12-channel, 72MIPS processor, 4MB Flash memory and 16MB memory as of Jan. '01 build dates.

Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
