Default A5 2.0 TFSI offered in the US next summer

Audi announced it's offering the A5 2.0TFSI in the US next summer. I know not everyone would be interested but I think it offers some perks.

Here's some relative data of the 2.0 TFSI compared to 3.2 tiptronic:

Price: -4,750 Euro
0-100km: 6.5sec (+0.1 sec)
City MPG: 9.3 vs 13 l/100km (-29%)
Highway MPG: 6.3 vs 6.7 l/100km (-6%)
Combined: 7.4 vs 9 l/100km (-18%)

Was this in a press release? And do you mean this year or in 2010?

Default Yes here's the link

The link requires registration so that's why I didn't include it earlier but here's the relevant text:

"The new S5 Cabriolet, which reaches U.S. dealerships this fall, will be offered with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, among other powertrain configurations. Also, the A5 coupe will get the same four-cylinder engine starting with the 2010 model, which goes on sale this summer."

If I read the rest correctly the manual transmission will be dropped for the A5 (and replaced by new 7-speed automatic) but the S5 will still offer this. Also the V8 will be dropped for the S5 an be replaced with 3.0 V6 which would be as powerful.

Link (again requires registration):<ul><li><a href="http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090302/ANA02/903020279/1164">http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090302/ANA02/903020279/1164</a</li></ul>

It seems manual option will be dropped for the A5 but not S5
