Default 2011 Model changes?

Hey, the new A1 got me thinking of the changes we can expect to this years A5/S5. I'm looking to buy a car this summer and was wondering if I should be waiting/anticipating big changes. It looks like with the new A1 audi is using that new style wheel with the extra buttons. And I really like how the new audis LED lights are one smooth light as opposed to the separate individual lights. Can we expect these types of additions to this upcoming years A5? So what are the expected and rumored changes?

I have a strong feeling that the 2011 A5 will have those lights, followed by the A4 in 2012, if not the same year.

Over on Audizine, there is a guy saying he saw the 2011 product guide.

Supposedly...

- the 3.2 engine is going away
- there will be a titanium package available
- the V8 remains in the S5
- there really weren't any other changes mentioned

Intrigued by the Titanium pkg.

I wish they would make daytona gray a standard color.

With the Euro weaker relative to the dollar, I was thinking power folding mirrors might return.

HD Radio added?

Details being circulate around the internet are :

1) HD radio is now part of the Prestige Package, not sure about the Premium Plus line.
2) ADS Package: The adjustable suspension system are now accomplished by Audi Magnetic Ride system. This is noted on the AoA's own website.

I really think it would be a big mistake to get rid of the 3.2FSI. Drivers should have the choice. In my opinion, the 3.2 fits the car better (not flaming the 2.0T, just an opinion).
Not to mention that on perception alone many people cannot rationalize that a 4 banger could be strong enough in this car. Psychology plays alot into buying and driving a car.
