I just read the new European Car, and I put it down smiling. I don't know if anyone else has heard, but next year's A6 will have the option of Audi's 4.2 V8! It also has a slightly more sporty look to it. What a dream a 5 speed would be!!!! Later, Craig K. Porter 86 4KCSQ 2 1/2 cat-back Borla, Eibachs 70 914 5-lug conversion, 911 brake conversion
