Worldwide, the S5 coupe will receive the supercharged gasoline DOHC 24V 3L V6 with or without valve-lift (with a 7,000 RPM redline producing 329/333/245 SAE hp/DIN hp/kw from 6,250 to 6,700 RPM and 325 lbs-ft of torque/440 nm from 2,400 to 6,250 RPM) in calendar year 2011 for model year 2012 (with the model year 2012 freshening for all vehicles on the B8 platform).

In calendar year 2011 for model year 2012, the dinosaur ZF six-speed Tiptronic automatic and dinosaur Borg Warner or Getrag seven-speed R-Tronic semi automatic transmissions will be discontinued and replaced by the far superior (in every conceivable way other than being more expensive, I might add ) Borg Warner seven-speed S-Tronic direct shift gearbox transmissions on all S, RS and R models worldwide.
so that model wont be available THIS fall? what changes are being made to MY 2011? if i read correctly, those changes are coming IN 2011, but not FOR MY 2011?

Yes, the changes that I mentioned are coming in calendar year 2011 for model year 2012, NOT in calendar year 2011 for model year 2011.

No word yet on changes (if any) for model year 2011 (and whether those changes for model year 2011 will be in calendar year 2010 or calendar year 2011).

I think I read that HD radio will be installed in 2011 models.
