Your personal wish, or some real info?

I thought everyone knew that. It's no secret.

I 'm also hoping to see soon a twin turbo version of the 3.2 lt V6 engine as some reports indicate.

2009 Audi A4

1 - What is it?
The new generation of Audi's entry level luxury sedan , available as either a Sedan or a Avant (wagon). The all new A4 has a longer wheelbase in order to make the rear seat more spacious. It will also be later on available in S and RS versions.

2 - What's under the hood?
Motivation will come via turbocharged 1.8 and 2.0-liter four cul. , 3.2-liter V-6, 4.2-liter V-8 or the RS4's even more powerful 420-hp V-8.
A redesigned transaxle (incorporating a more compact clutch and differential) allows the engine to sit farther back than it does in today's A4, trimming the front overhang and allowing for better weight distribution.

3 - Any other extra?
Rear biased all-wheel drive, a 7 speed dual-clutch DSG transmission, and Delphi's MagneRide magnetic dampers will be on the options list.

4 - How much?
Prices will be comparable to a BMW 3-series and a Mercedes-Benz C class.

5 - When's it coming?
The Sedan debuts in late 2007; the Avant in 2008. A Sportback version might also be available later on.

Frankfurt Four-Door
Audi to show A4 sedan in September

By JASON STEIN | AUTOMOTIVE NEWS EUROPE

AutoWeek | Published 02/05/07, 8:51 am et
MUNICH -- Audi will debut a new A4 sedan at the IAA in Frankfurt in September, a company source said.

The lower-premium car will have a sharper front-end profile than the current model. It will use Audi's new modular-length component platform, which premiers in the new A5 coupe at the Geneva auto show next month. The new architecture will enable Audi to introduce variants quicker and at a lower cost.

Through 11 months last year, the A4 was Audi's top model line in Europe, selling 222,639 units, down from 241,746 the year before, according to JATO Dynamics.
