What's funny is when my buddy went to look for a base price E350. Couldn't find one anywhere in So Cal. That's all he wanted. The cheapest E350 you could buy. It still was a "loaded" vehicle because base in a MB is considered fairly loaded in anything else.
Yeah, the Germans aren't great at stocking base models.
The turn signals are awesome! Wait 5 years and all companies will have a cheap looking version.
You won't see them here unless federal regulations change. A turn signal has to have a certain amount of illuminated area upon activation, and these lights don't meet the requirement. Ford gets away with it on the Mustang because the first lit square is large enough by itself to meet the requirement.

But all new Audi's here already have the rear and front turn signals that start near center and move towards the side. I've seen the rears here, very unique, stands out big time. The 997.2 911 Turbo S had brakes lights that flashed, you can't miss them, gets your attention instantly, surprised everyone hasn't switched to it?

I don't know if all new U.S. market Audis have it but I'll take your word for it. In any case their implementation here is clunkier than just the thin strip that progressively illuminates like you see on Euro-spec Audis. Here they are "supplemented" with additional instant-on lighting. A couple of examples:

The difference is these two videos are 2016 models, while it's a new part on 2017's. The rear has two lights that work, one progressive moving, and another normal one, while fronts do not have the euro-spec.

Again, notice on the Audi there's a "chunk" of lighting that all lights up simultaneously with the beginning of the sequential light to make it legal. It's a cleaner implementation than they've done previously though, I'll give them that. It does a better job of keeping the focus on the sequential bit better than previous attempts.
On the Porsche, I'm pretty sure what we're seeing is an artifact of the difference between the blink pulsing and the recording frame rate. That's a common occurrence when filming LED lighting. I've certainly never seen anything like that on any Porsche and I doubt very much anything like that would be legal.

I don't even know why they bother. 50% of the drivers on the road don't bother signaling.
