Do you know what year(s) this applies to? Both 2012 and 2013?

Looking at the charts, I don't see where at any RPM and HP point where the 2.0 has more torque than the 3.0.
I've seen these charts mapped for the older 3.2 non-supercharged engine vs the 2.0 where there were points where the 2.0 had more torque.

it is for 2013

Summary: Audi: would have harsh 1-2 upshifts when accelerating or harsh downshifts when braking, to address both concerns, new software calibration for transmission is available. Models 2013 a4, a5, a5 cabriolet, allroad, q5, a6/a7, a8, a8l.

Ditto. I can't get night vision with 2.0T so have to go with 3.0T.

Your comment reminds me of something I learned a long while ago. Many years ago when I bought my first house my father in law took me to the basement to explain the hot air heat/AC system. He pointed to two ducts attached to the furnace unit at opposite sides and said: “See these? One sucks, the other one blows.” I have learned over the years that this little bit of wisdom applies to many of life’s situations and things, human and otherwise. My two cents. lol

Had a 2.0 loaner for a few days...decent car for everyday driving but 3.0's acceleration especially at highway speeds is noticeably better.

For driving enthusiast the 3.0 would be a better fit.

FWIW – the AoA configurator for the 2016 A6 shows the 2.0 with 0-60 time of 5.8 seconds with the newly stronger 2.0 four. This is quicker than the 6.7 seconds shown for previous versions. For the 2016 3.0 supercharged TFSI car the 0-60 time is shown as 5.1 seconds. The gap between 3.0 and 2.0 has narrowed.
In terms of power:
The 2016 A6 2.0 Q Tip P+: 252 HP 5,000 to 6,000 rpm and 273 lb-ft of torque from 1,600 to 4,500 rpm
The 2016 A6 3.0 TFSI P+: 333HP 5,500 to 6,500 rpm and 325 lb/ft of torque 2,900 to 5,300 rpm

Makes you wonder if they are going to drop the "V6" like they did for the A4. Just leaving an A6 2.0T and S6. Or have A6 2.0T, A7 3.0T then S6/S7.
