from fourtitude.com re: direct statements made by audi officials (among them rupert stadler and johann denysschen)----
1. the DSG will finally be added to the mainstream in CY 2008. beginning with the A4 and A5 and moving on up.
2. the new quattro will bow on the A4 platform, but a higher level model. also, it seems, in CY 2008. (this could be what will go into the new S4) and make its way rather quickly to the S5 and eventually be placed in all audis.
3. in the US we may not see the 3.0 TDI engine until late CY 2008 or early 2009.
4. 10 cylinders have been re- re- re- re- confirmed for the R8. the only question is when? and NA or TT? my guess is debut in sept 2008 in paris and NA.
5. the cross coupe concept is NOT the Q5, but the Q3.
:applause:
