3.0 T with 272 hp and 333 hp instead of 3.6 VR6 and good old 4.2... Interesting, I expected 3.6 VR6 to be dropped in favour of 3.0 T, but ''letting go'' 4.2 comes as a little suprise for me.

I allways tought that 4.0 T will be 4.2 replacement in complete range...

Also, in this article,

says that 3.0 diesel is also new, some 20 kg lighter than previous one! How did they managed that?

Qisha, thank you. May I ask, any news at all from AoA if they will bring in the 4.2TDI?
