From VWVortex... "Engines look to include a 335hp 4.2l V8 and a 255hp version of the 3.2l VR6 with FSI and a 2.4l V6 with 177hp. A 3.0l V6 TDI will also be available."

I like the 3.2l v6 and 4.2l v8 options... that should be a nice. I only wish they'd put the 3.2l in the A4 too

Any tranny info? Will only slushboxes be offered?

It looks pretty decent.
Reflects a TL image just looking at the side shot.
Could do without the elongated fron grill.

I do NOT like the waterfall grille. I didn't like it on the A8 6.0 or any of their concepts and I don't like it on the A6 either.

What the heck is happening to German design? Audi's got the ugly grille, BMW's got Bangle (nuff said), Benz is instituting their own ugly schnoz on the SLK and SLR (not to mention the ugly C-Coupe and minivan-like ML), and VW has taken about 6 years to design the MkV Jetta and it looks like a Corolla.

There are still some really nice looking German cars but overall their exterior designs seems to be on the decline IMO. :(
