... that is as I understand it ... I don't know what years it applies to,
but I'm thinking that all cars that are 10 years old or younger now probably
apply.

I read in the sales literature recently that Audi has been acquiring cars
that were designed to have the 10 year warranty and seeing how well they
held up.  Apparently based on what they have found they have increased the
warranty to 12 years on the newer cars!

HTH!
