Has Audi released anything at all about the B8 S4 yet? Will that have a 6MT in the Avant?

I wonder if that's the only way I'll be able to get a B8 Avant with a manual?

In the US that is.

Default Audi is busy turning into General Motors circa 1975...

...and forgetting about their customer, and that they are in fact a car company first and foremost that should concentrate on offering inspiring cars rather than the next quarterly report.

Default Audi is responding to their PAYING customers. . .

. . .the bitching and moaning customers (and I used to be one) don't pay the bills; quite the contrary, they (we) make the cars possibly more expensive.

Time and again AUDI has been responsive to the vocal minority -- remember the A6's brought to market with manuals?

Default You guys bought less S4 Avants than RS4 (400 or something)

The amount of manuals was a fraction of that.

The potential sales figures (based on several years of data that doesn'lie) outweigh possible positives from the S4 Avant.
