i like the fact that the 2.7t comes in 6spd, but for some reason the 4.2 looks better. from what i can see, it's sidesills and flared fenders. anything else visually?!

Yes. The whole front of the car from the windsheild forward is different and uses

the structure from the A8. It's about an inch and half longer too.

Also, the hood and front fenders are made of Aluminum Alloy...not steel

Front and rear track are a bit wider on the 4.2 as well.

The 2.7T is just a better car, period. The 4.2 is no fun at all.
