There is a nice three page article in Autoweek this week about the A6 4.2. Nice
photos of the bigger front end and big wheel flares. It did not give me the
impression that we would see a manual trans though.  In fact, considering what
Audi did to us with the V8q, I doubt we will see a five speed in any larger
body cars for some time.
