(long) Have the new engines been scheduled for the 2008 MY of the B7 A4?
The 2.0T rated at 210 HP and the 3.2 V6 rated at 265? The 7-speed DSG? I thought these were B8 (MY 2009) changes.
Also, what's the deal with the "revised powertrain placement to allow better handling?" Is this the 40/60 Quattro split, or are they talking about the expected changes for the B8?
Maybe they don't know much, as they call the wagon the "Avanti".....
I read this after clicking on the "A4 pricing info" link at the top of the page on this forum (A4B7):
[Quote] "The Audi A4 is a fun and spirited sedan that is competitive within its class. It delivers plenty of power, respectable gas mileage, state-of-the-art sound and Quattro all-wheel drive.
The A4 comes in sedan, wagon (Avanti), and Cabriolet models. The 2.0T engine option comes with a 210-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. The 3.2 engine option comes with an aluminum 265-hp, 3.1-liter V-6. It is controlled by a six-speed manual or a seven-speed version of Audi's DSG transmission. The S-line trim includes a sport suspension, trunklid lip spoiler, sporty side sills and brushed-aluminum interior trim. The A4 seats 5 and comes standard with leather in 3.2 models.
For 2008, the Audi A4 gets revised powertrain placement to allow better handling. [\Quote]<ul><li><a href="http://www.carsdirect.com/audi/a4/">Audi A4 Pricing Info</a></li></ul>

wtf do you expect?
Hoping for DSG on B7's is rediculous, (especially since the A5 doesn't even have DSG, yet). And you want a power hike and an overhaul on the power train?
I think that the B8 might be a little more priority at the moment, seeing how it's going to be unvieled later this year.
