Ok so Im sick of these B8 reviews from all the sites and magazines that are so vague and not worth reading. It seems there is not much information/praise on the new 2.0 tfsi besides the numbers, they only want to talk about the v6 or tdi (which is only in europe anyways). This car has been available in europe for long enough as a 2008 modelyou would think there would be more info by now! Anyone know a lot more than I do?? Please post some stuff Im sure Im missing something!

Heres what I know so far:
2.0 tfsi that is supposedly much different than B7:
- 211 hp, 258 tq @1500 rpm
-around or up to 10% lighter than B7
Reviews have 0-60 times around 6.5 to 6.9 with 2.0T... If the car is lighter, has 51 more torque, shouldn't it be at least a little quicker??

Car and Driver has a couple pretty good reviews:

I have pre-order one here in Toronto. the 2.0T arrives in Toronto by the end of August 08 and the one I order which is 3.2 V6 arrives by November. btw, the LED DRL is an option on the 2.0T. 3.2 V6 is the way to go, because everything is included except the Drive select, Navigation and the reverse camera.

 

what comes standard with the v6 and not 2.0t? I don't want all those portly options when I get mine, might stay with the 2.0t

by the way, i found out some more useful stuff:
new electronice e-brake takes care of the console/parking brake battle, but not as fun in snow..
brake petal is lower/more flush with the gas petal, making it easier to do heel and toe
6.5 inch screen is standard, even w/out navi
505 Watt Bang & Olufsen sound system currently in A5/S5 as an option

 

Three trims:

Premium
Premium Plus
Prestige

09 are priced about $400 less than the 08.

 

Yeah a dealership just gave me the dealer book on it, so as soon as I have time, I will let you know everything about it
