2007 Audi A6 Review
A new high-performance sedan spotlights A6 for 2007. A6 offers 255-hp V6 3.2 sedans with front-wheel drive or Audi's quattro AWD, plus a 3.2 quattro Avant wagon. The V8 4.2 quattro sedan has 350 hp. The new S6 quattro sedan has a 435-hp V10 and specific suspension tuning and styling touches. The front-drive 3.2 sedan uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT). All other models have a 6-speed automatic. All A6s come with ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags; rear torso side airbags are available. Available for all but S6 is an air suspension that adjusts ride height and firmness to load, road surface, or driving style. A power tailgate is optional for the wagon, and all A6s offer steering-linked headlights and a navigation system; a Technology Package includes navigation and a rearview camera. Some models include Audi's MMI (Multi Media Interface) control that uses a console knob and switches, and a dashboard screen to adjust audio, climate, and other functions.

News
The midsize Audis were last redesigned for 2005, and sources forecast another redo for model-year 2010 or '11. A modest freshening is possible for 2008 or '09.

Also on tap at Audi is a stylish A6-based "four-door coupe" to answer the Mercedes-Benz CLS and BMW's 6-Series. Tagged A7, it's part of an ambitious expansion that will almost double the number of Audi models by 2010. A7 is said to be on for a calendar-2008 debut with muscular styling marked by a low "chopped" roofline, semi-concealed rear door handles, and a more-aggressive iteration of the signature Audi nose. Expect V8 and possibly V6 power, standard Quattro all-wheel drive, and full-house luxury equipment.
