Now that the engine has been spec'd anyone have ideas on why/how Audi came to this version? Seems it's at least a generation or two or even 3 (I suspect a K03 turbo ca. 2007) behind to me.
I suppose it was based on cost - trying to get the base price down, far enough away from the Q5. Btw, if I built my car in Germany (via Audi.de) with otherwise normal (2.0 TFSI 211 PS, S-tronic) and then similar options, my $42K car here would cost 52K€, or about $60K+
Still would like to have the latest TFSI and DSG though...
