I doubt that will happen. The A6 is has to compete with other brands in the mid-size luxury class and the 2.0T only wouldn't keep up with the competition. Now, it is possible that Audi might eventually drop the 3.0T in favor of only the TDI as diesel becomes more popular in NA.

+1.
There are many for whom (legitimately) a 4-banger just doesn't cut it as a luxury ride. Especially when more than just the driver is on board, a 6 cylinder is what Americans typically look for in a car in this class. I drive 95+% of the time alone, so I am likely to stick with the 2.0 if I do get a 2106 A6 when my lease is up.

That i one really long lease you have there. The payment must be something like $35 @ month.

I'd have to agree with OP's observation about the 3.0T having super spongy brakes. I had one as a loaner while my TDI was being serviced and indeed, the brakes were super unpredictable and the pedal felt spongy with really odd engagement behavior...

I think you are right

I wonder if there is a difference with "Pre-Sense Plus"? My brakes are easily modulated and could be construed as "spongy" but yesterday the system armed and I touched the brakes normally and it was a totally different feeling, the car almost did an emergency stop with just the normal pressure applied.
I therefore think that they are intentionally "relaxed" for normal driving and may increase in sensitivity during perceived critical situations.

lol
It only seems that way because I am always on here complaining about something. My current lease term is Dec. '12 thru Dec. '15. Before that I had a 3-year lease on a '10 A6.

It was your desire to get a 2061 A6 at lease end that threw me.

2106 - get it right! lol

Typing is not a personal strength of mine.

I would find that hard to believe unless BMW and other competition do the same. Audi would lose a lot of customers not offering a fast 6 cylinder option to compete with the other manufacturers
