Yes, the VW Sharan VR6 Syncro and Ford Galaxy V6 4x4 (essentially the same
car, this being the only Ford with the VW VR6 and VW AWD system) have
appeared on the market here a couple of months ago. It's eerily quiet on
the subject of Audi's plans for the Minivan market, though.
Still, considering that the first pictures of the new A6 were not available
more than 2 months before the launch, I'd have to say that it could be
Audi's great security against press leaks...
