3.0 Quattro with CVT?
Anyone else also wondering when Audi will bring out a 3.0 Quattro with CVT?
I think its a shame that the 3.0 front wheel drive is quicker off the mark (almost 2sec from 0-62mph) than the quattro which should be the sportier of the two (even considering that quattro is heavier)

it's still not 2 seconds then
3.0 FronTrak CVT 0-60 = 6.9sec
3.0 Quattro Tip 0-60 = 7.7sec
Why is the quattro slower? Easy, it's a tiptronic with a conventional torq converter. The CVT isn't a conventional auto, uses no torq converter, and is actually just as fast as a quattro 5sp because CVTs are more efficient then conventional autos.
