Default 2016 A6 Model Year Info

Does anyone know if the 3.0T will be upgraded to 333HP or is it staying at 310? Does anyone have a list of the new colors?

I read somewhere that it would get 329HP, but that was the European model...

Latest pics and info mentions 333HP, but nothing official for the U.S. yet:

Does it mean the us version will not have sweeping indicator lights? Not on the rear side and not on the front side?

For Example like A7 Facelift

Right, no sweeping indicators for the U.S. Each individual element is not large enough for US regs...on the mustang 2 of the three elements could be busted and a single element is still large enough.

If the spec's in that article hold for the US, the increase in HP and Torque for the 2.0 base engine suggest a significant performance improvement for that engine whatever Audi model it goes in. From the specs I have seen, HP and Torque for Canadian and US 2015 models are the same, so I assume that wold hold for 2016. Wow!

If the author of the article has his ducks in a row, it seems that Audi is finally going to add adaptive suspension as part of the ADS to the A6 for North America (it has only been available for the S series). Something that should have been available from MY2012 with the intro of the C7 A6/A7 as it was in ROW.

But the EU Audi can have elements missing and still have elements that work. The US system has greater surface area but if it breaks their is no back up. So the EU has more redundancy built in, is more attractive, uses amber and is safer but the DOT is not smart enough to work that out. They only care about surface area, not whether or not it is functional.
