MP4.2+6.0

Audi made its next generation A4 announcement today, leapfrogging the formal intro scheduled in a few months for some reason. While it is the A4, not Q5, it is pretty obvious to me how it signals the changes to come in the next gen Q5--more weight savings, efficiency, higher engine outputs on at least 2.0T and 3.0TDI, adaptable inst. panel and other displays, next gen MMI, lift gate type functions, B&0, safety systems, etc. Given Q5 takeoff points were B8 A4 and the A5 for so much of the vehicle, easy to connect the dots.

Love the virtual cockpit stuff that is starting to show up on more and more vehicles. Audi already has it available on the TT.
