NO! It costs A LOT of money in research, development, tooling etc to have those paddle shifts. To discontinue it in the middle of the year simple would not happen. And what would they replace it with???

If this were to ever happen (HIGHLY unlikely) the few of us (multi thousands now I'm sure LOL) that have the A6 with paddles would be fetching in the million$ at Barrett-Jackson in like 2050 or so LOL.

I assumed JaminJ was unsure that there is currently only ONE automatic trans available in 2006 hence why I posted that LOL.

So the A-4 was dropped in "05"? I thought it was still available for "06".

I had to check the date of the first post to make sure chains weren't being pulled. However, since it wasn't on April first, maybe this "rumor" originated on that day and just took it's time reaching here. I can't believe any of you would think this was even a possibility!!
Unless they add a DSG type transmission in the future, the A6 as is will likely be the auto choice for many years.
