The current S-Tronic is 6 speed, the new one for longitudinal engines is 7.

Default Not True -- Longitudinal S-tronic has 7 forward gears!

The reverse will the 8th gear!

Default ANOTHER Typo????

Here is the 2008 MY Order Guide from AoA. If S-Tronic is not available on the 2009 A5/S5, then somehow they have made the exact same mistake!

Pathetic to get our hopes up two years running, if not true.<ul><li><a href="http://www.criswellaudi.com/Audi%20Order%20Guide%20Jan%202008.pdf">2008 Order Guide</a></li></ul>

Default That is exactly right, rferni

The transverse S Tronic has six forward gears with one reverse gear while the longitudinal S Tronic has seven forward gears with one reverse gear.

You, I and most of us on AudiWorld in general get this. However, a few people here on AW are still simply clueless about this.
