5:30 PM - Audi has lifted the cover off their new All-Road Quattro Concept. While many people were expecting a SUV underneath, change a few details and this concept is essentially the new All-Road Quattro, based on the new-generation A6 and A6 Avant, which also make its north-american debut.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system, which is celebrated by the introduction of the All-Road Quattro Concept.

Also on the stands, the 2006 A4 with redesigned front and rear fascias and two new engines: a 200-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-litre 4-cylinder and a 250-horsepower 3.2-litre V6.

Audi also introduced the 2006 A3, a 5-door hatchback that will be priced from $33,000 when it arrives in Canada later this year. It will be powered by the 200-horsepower 2.0L and will be front-wheel-drive. Later on, a Quattro model will be available with the same 3.2L V6 as the A4. The Quattro version will also be available with their DSG direct-shift gearbox.

Finally, the company introduced their new CEO to the public, Mr. Johan De Nysschen.
