2006.5 Audi A4
« on: October 13, 2005, 01:46:25 pm »
Anyone aware of the changes for the 2006.6 Audi A4?

From what I can see, the price has dropped from $35,950 on the '06 base 2.0T FrontTrak to $35,270 on the '06.5's.

Biggest change is the addition of the manual transmission to the A4 3.2L Quattro sedan and Avant. I don't see this yet on the Canadian site but know it's coming - $47,885 for the sedan and $49,355 for the Avant. Better for enthusiasts.

Are there any option changes or styling tweaks?

S-Line replaces sports pkg across the A4 range. There will be a V8 badge underneath the side markers on S4. 6-speed S4 already received 40/60 split Torsen Quattro (will go test drive one soon ;D). There are already 10-15 S-Line 2.0Ts taken delivery in my local dealer last week.

Hmmmm...

I really liked the '05 V6 Sport Pkg and skirts. Think I've seen similar on the '06's too, but I'm not so fond of the new tail lights so I prefer the '05 treatment, and think it looks more BMW-aggressive-like.

Will have to look out for the S-Line.

Haha, 'uh huh'.

Unfortunately for you, I prefer the unpainted valances  :-*

'Fraid A4 is a little rich for my humble blood, but just interested in what's coming. The S-Line sounds a lot more appealing visually, and with all the action in the entry/sport-lux segment gotta keep abreast, ya know.

Always best to lease an Audi in fall because they always have special rates this time of the year. 8)

a friend of mine has the S-Line. Apparently it has all the S4 stuff minus the honking engine. I've not seen it yet, but from those who had, it looked good. However it still has the 2.0T engine. So I imagine it being slower since it is decked out with S4 equipments.
