What to get next for a car?

[Dan DiBiase]

If you're looking at an A4 from 2004 - 2006, then it would have either the 1.8T 
or the 2.0T (think that replaced the 1.8
for 2006), or the 3.0 V6. Personally, I like the 2.0T a lot and wish I had the 
extra oomph in my 1.8T (which I know I could
chip to 200hp very reasonably). A 2006 A4 2.0T with 6-speed trans and Sport 
Package would be very nice indeed. It
would have the 'current' big-mouth grille look but still have the classic 
'forward' Audi look (versus the current A4 which
has more of a BMW 3-Series 'cab back' look that is still growing on me). 

Not sure when the A6 changed from the previous 'amorphous' look to the current 
model - which I think is a great-looking 

car. Unless you're talking the S6, it isn't as 'sporty' as the A4. 

Too bad you can't get the A6 with the 2.0T and 6-speed manual. That would be a 
nice compromise of size and performance,
especially if you could chip the 2.0T to about 250 hp and 250 lb ft of torque.

Looks like its time to get another car as my 95 A6 with 288k on it has
overheated yet again and I am tired of working on it.

So I am wondering the pros and cons of the newer platforms. I am aiming
for something around 2004-2006.

A4 1.8T
A4 2.7/8?
