Default Noboy knows what will show up on our shores.

You can't wait forever for the next thing to come out. If you do you will never get a new car.

Bottom line is, there are rumors floating around about new engines 4cyl & 6cyl, there are rumors about a mid b6 styling change, & rumors about a whole new platform (B7).

You have to remember just because something is slated to come out in Europe next year doesn't mean we will see it that same year. We've always lagged a year + behind Euro releases for must stuff. Sometimes we never see what comes out in Europe. Things like Nav+, and all the other chooses of engines they have over there besides the two we get over here.


All I have to say is don't hold your breath at this point!

Default Yeah, it was.

People keep saying stuff like, "my source says that next year we will have a 2.0 FSI Turbo and a 3.2 FSI"

I don't have much faith in anyone's sources till I see an AoA press release. I at least wouldn't hold off from buying my new car because somebody on Audiworld has a super secret source.

I have not seen anything official from AoA about FSI engines coming to North America let alone displacements of those engines.

Fact is there is a lot of stuff Audi does not let us have in North America. People also have to remember that this is not Ford and we usually don't get the first release of new models. They will usually always get released in Europe first.

Dealer is probably one of the least reliable sources.

Default Well, at this pace you're very likely to get first hand info, before many people. - more -

If so, you can always sell the car and wait in line for the new model, before the info you have becomes widely available and bring the resale value down.
