RE: New A6

Sorry, what I meant to say what I hoped Audi would offer a 4.2 Twin Turbo
with a 6sp to counter the M5.  I agree with you, the 2.7TT, for those of us
with a sporting nature, will probably be better than the 4.2 if those are
the only two new engines we have to choose from.  It depends on what you
want:  torque, or the ability to tune and make higher hp.  You and I would
rather have the 2.7.  Other people, like my wife, would probably be happier
with the 4.2.  The same as the current A4:  the 1.8T is the preferred engine
to the 2.8 for most enthusiasts (no flames please).
