Default The exterior parts are the same. Not sure about the innards though.

I do know the US A6 inside parts are not the same as the US RS6 parts.

Default Euros have four dots on front, US two

The European cars shown in early road test pix have four quarter-sized dots on the front bumpers. Others have said these function as sensors for alarms that go off when trying to park too close to something.

US cars have that feature on back bumpers, but not front. As for why they left two of the dots rather than getting rid of all four for the front of US cars, I have no idea.
