A6 facelift

[Tom Nas]

Hi all,

 From the Dutch AutoWeek:
The A6 gets clear headlight lenses and larger headlights, lower grill in 
the front bumper (standard on the 4.2) now on all models, exhaust no longer 
'invisible', but sticks through a cutout in the rear bumper. Taillights now 
red/clear instead of red/amber/clear. New alloys. Interior: new steering 
wheels, alu rings around dials. ESP standard equipment, as well as brake 
assist.
New engines: 130 hp 1.9TDI, 155 hp 2.5TDI, 130 hp 2.0, 220 hp 3.0. 2.5TDI 
with optional Multitronic (declared 'best auto box' in a multitest in the 
same issue).
Improvements should make it quieter and 'handle differently', whatever that 
might be.
At your local dealership in Europe by late June.

Looking at the pics: don't be afraid that your new A6 will suddenly be an 
old A6. It takes an Audi nut to spot the differences, along the lines of 
the C5 A4 facelift and that of the A3 last year.
