I've been hit with this correction so I'm passing it on. There is no more A4 Cabrio. You have to go to an A5, which I would love to see with a TDI but know one will never sit in my garage. ($$$)Any chance of an A3 quattro TDi, A4 quattro TDi, or A4 Cabrio TDi?
I just got news that Tiguan will come in a TDi soon, but I don't know if it will ever be released with the 4Motion.
I know I'm quoting ancient history (ancient on the internet anyway), but you hit it on the head. The 3.0 V6 TDI is a premium performance engine...whisper quiet, vibrationless, and a ton of torque that moves a heavy vehicle with surprising speed. The fuel economy just happens to be good, especially considering the size and weight of the vehicles in which it is installed.Ummm, in this case it is NOT about fuel MPG. It is about PERFORMANCE with good MPG. The torque on the 3.0L alone is worth it.
Too many $$$$$.
Darnit.

Huh???Interesting the gas version get better highway mileage than the diesel.
In the A8L, the V6 produces 240 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque and returns 24 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. The least thirsty gasoline A8, the 3.0T (pictured), has a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 333 hp and 325 lb-ft. However, the gasoline V6 can only muster 18 mpg city and 28 mpg highway.
Since a gasser a6 starts in the mid 50s... Prob near 60k... In a few years it will lose half of that. I had a 2008 a6 quattro.. They were about 50k then... I bought mine a year old for 32k... Yes they drop like a rock in that first few years (all luxury cars have this issue)I'm interested in an A6 TDI, any idea what its price range will be in the US? Will not be making a purchase until September 2014. If its too much will get a Sportwagen instead.
The A8 is pretty close to the same size as a 5. Between the 5 & 7 in some dimensions.A 5 series is more on par with an A6.
A 7 series would be equivalent to an A8.
Ha! I rode in a BMW 550ix on the autobahn and the guy driving made it a point to not allow Audis to pass himDon't you get it??? The 5-series must let the A8L pass them in the Fatherland.
^^^x2and i hope they sell a lot. More chances i may some day be able to own one.
