It's supposed to getting a 230 hp detuned version the new S4 biturbo engine
as well as a V8 with a lot more power - I think those 2 will be the S6 and
the S6+. Who knows if we'll get them here?!?

Road&Track May says the A6 Avant will only come in auto (Tiptronic). Is
that true? No other engine option than that power-deficient V6?
