Attention C6 A6 owners!
At the curise in today, Gm brought over a new 08 car and showed it to us all. One of the fixes they said was that the A6 software has been upgraded to provide immediate, firm shifting from the paddels.

Even if there were a few minor 'hard' part changes (there may or may not be) I would think that the programming updates could still be performed on the current A6s.
But more likely this:
is the case though. The transmission was a brand new/cutting edge design for 2006, it's unlikely that they made any significant internal changes already.
