We're already being denied the A8 4.0 TDI so why would they give us a 5.5 TDI? I'm going to assume that even if Audi creates this, the US won't get it so it personally makes no difference to me if it's never built. Audi has historically kept their best offerings away from us, with few exceptions (RS4 RS6 yea yea).

Someone, PLEASE prove me wrong. I really, really want to be dead wrong on all my assumptions.

Sorry, but that made me laugh really hard. A diesel Lambo...

I know diesels have come a long way but that is a crazy thought.
