When the 4.2 version of the new A6 comes out in February, March or April of next year, will it be a late 2005 or early 2006? I would think an early 2006 given Audi's weak resale values vs. BMW, Mercedes and Lexus (at least Audi's resale values are stronger or less weak than Jaguar's super crummy resale values). But I don't want to make any assumptions.

You could have ordered one about a month ago, for early November delivery, like I did!
