I heard that the final HP that they will reveal will be around 250 HPs.  I am
sure that IA and TAP is going to help you with that problem.

the A6 with the V8 is due(from what I heard) by the end of the year and the
S6(with the 275 HPs and a STICK!) is due before the S4 which is about
fall(already got my 1k out for the waiting list).  And "I" also hate the rear
end of the A6.

A6 will definally get more beef.  And if the S4 does come to the US with/o
power that we come to expect from the S4, then I'm pretty sure the people from
TAP and IA would fill up that gap.  And the TT  is far from a Honda, trust me.
