Audi spending $10 billion on new models over next 5 years

On the heels of news of Ford’s massive research and development budget, approximately US$8 billion per year, the news from Audi of a €10 billion investment over five years seems somewhat more reasonable. The investment will be focused solely on the development of new models.

What about the Q5, R4 and A3 Cabriolet?

Nobody needs a Q1. The Q3 is the smallest they should go.

I'll be happy as long as all models that bear the Quattro name actually do have a Torsen differential, including the A3 which currently has a lesser AWD system not worthy of the Quattro name. Better still would be a Torsen rear as well as the familiar Torsen Center differential.

EnnNorak: The TT buyers don't seem to care that they're not getting the "real Quattro". The Q3 probably won't be Torsen either.

All that matters to me is that they start selling Diesels in North America!
When can I get an A6 with the V6-TDI?
Or A8 with the V8-TDI?
I'd even consider that boat of a Q7 if it didn't have a thirsty gas engine!
