wow, so, they compared the 2010 Mazda 3 to a 1999 Volkswagen? High praise, maybe fore the 20th century....
too bad the trunk space in the A3 sucks. the A4 is much better at snowboarding runs
yes! A4 3.0 TDI. I hope it comes with the 2.0 TDI too... can't decide which one I want.
Don't forget the availability of U-Verse Voice feature. It looks like their 2Wire gateway can do VOIP, and the STBs can display voicemail and call history on your TV.
that is unsafe on so many levels
looks like it was designed by kragen
dont forget the brand new supercharged V6 (3.0T)
Chin up! My guess is that they're only pumping up the RS6 engine because they're already tuning it for the V10 R8. Perhaps the engine's production line will overlap with the RS6 life cycle. More than likely, we'll see the same V10 in the US, but not in an Avant.

But the next drivetrain I DO want to see in an avant here in the US is the 3.0 TDI 6MT Quattro in the new A4 Avant!!
yes. and the R32's DSG also incorporates a wet clutch and only 6 gears, both of which have already been abandoned by VWAG. I think it's pretty obvious the DSG going into the Porsches will be significantly different than the R32's old tranny.

The question in the post was whether DSG was compatible with a 4WD drive train.

Since the Carrara 4S' wetclutch AWD system is being replaced by haldex, it would be a no brainer to add DSG.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Porsche decided to go with Haldex for that very reason.
the DSG in the Carrera 4 will likely come hand in hand with their introduction of Haldex AWD.

The R32 has had DSG+Haldex for a while now.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
