That's funny DS. I'm driving one. 3.6V6 DSG6 4x4 Sedan. 2010 model Elegance. :facepalm:

It reminds me of the mechanic at a country garage I got to do oil changes & check for me while travelling. After having it up on the hoist for 30 minutes, looking all over underneath, he asked me, "Why do they put 4x4 on the back?" "These things are front wheel drive." Apparently he hadn't noticed the bloody great Haldex unit in the rear. "Oh, I didn't see it before", getting up off his gut after taking another look. Let's just say, there's a garage in Moree I wouldn't recommend to anyone!

my apologies - I've got my facts wrong....again.
Urs would certainly b a rare example in this country.
Here's hoping they offer the next gen superb in awd version in sedan form with the cracker engine.

Anyone found any more images/info on the new superb wagon. I've seen some images but most of the good looking images are "artists impressions". Saw some pics of test driving the new superb wagon with the usual tape bits on to try and disguise it. Have to say those pics didn't impress me at all compared to the artists impression pics.

Detailed drive and presentation of the sedan with GTI engine

Tossing up between Passat 176kw bi turbo new TDI engine (0-100 in 6.x secs) & Superb in 5.8sec with Golf R engine

Current A4 Avant with 2.0Tsi Quattro does 6.5sec I think the new model should be in sub 6 secs which makes the superb very good value

Wow now that's one impressively detailed review.

How big is the boot even in the sedan.

206kW and AWD and I'm lining up. Would kill for a manual but.

Wish they sold with the 6sp manual. I'm really not convinced on DSGs after hiring a couple of Jettas and now driving a Rapid loan car. I find it quite difficult to drive it as smoothly as a manual or traditional auto.

Well here's the engine line-up for the gen3 Aus spec Superb:

• 132TSI 1.8l petrol - 132kW / 320Nm
• 140TDI 2.0 diesel - 140kW/400Nm
• 162TSI 2.0 petrol - 162kW / 350Nm
• 206TSI 2.0 petrol AWD - 206kW / 350Nm

For details on this check the following link: Road Vehicle Descriptor (RVD1)

No guarantees that they will bring in all models, however if the approval is there is makes it a very real possibility.

Good work.

No manuals :(
