They are scrapping the A4. I forgot where I read it, but 6-months to a year from initial release, they're going to offer a 4-cyllinder/6 speed combo: a segment first.

They also said that they will start producing the six-speed auto at a US plant, as opposed to the current Korea one, which will be capable of 500,000 trannys a year. :eek:

This six-speed auto is really the latest-greatest thing for GM. It's one of the most versatile trannys....EVER!
