Quite sure; there is not an A4 Coupe at this time.

As to A4 European engiens, a bunch are available:

Four cylinder gasoline
1.6 L 100hp
1.8 L 125hp 5-valve normally aspirated
1.8 L 150hp 5-valve Turbo (abnormally aspirated, and coming to the US in the
fall)

Six cylinedr gasoline
2.6 L 150hp V6
2.8 L 172hp

Plus two or three diesels, among them a couple of really sweat, cultivated
and torquey direct injuetion turbo diesels (TDI).

The vast majority of German A4s have one of the two weaker fourcylinder gas
engines or a diesel.  Relatively few V6s are sold due to fuel economy/cost of
fuel issue, an annual tax the customer must pay on engine displacement, and
the simple price premium placed on the higher output engines.
