The only debut is the A8 L which is the long wheel base version of the A8, if you didn't know any better you probably wouldn't even notice anything different.

There were a few other anouncements though:

1) There is now Audi Sport North America - which is going to be a factory racing team. Audi is entering the American LeMans series this year, so keep an eye out for that. I believe the first race is in March at Sebring.

2) There <b>will</b> be more S models coming to America, but no specifics where mentioned. I asked around and everybody was tight lipped about it. They didn't confirm or deny that it could be the S6, S8 or S4 Avant. There will be more info later in the year.

3) The AllRoad was not at this show, but we were told that it will be on American soil before the end of the year.

4) Don't hold your breath for Avant versions of the A6 4.2 and 2.7T

That's really about it. I fly home this afternoon and will try and write something up tomorrow with pictures.
