Audi A3
•2011 Audi A3: A fully redesigned A3 will arrive in early 2011. It's expected to have an evolutionary design and maintain its four-door hatchback configuration.
•2012 Audi A3: In addition to its familiar five-door hatchback design, Audi will offer a sedan version in the U.S. about a year later.

Audi A4
•2011 Audi A4: Look for the A4 to adopt Audi's eight-speed automatic transmission to help improve overall fuel economy and performance.
•2012 Audi A4: After a full redesign in 2010, the A4's first chance for a midcycle will be the 2012 model year.

Audi A5
•2012: A midcycle refresh is likely for the 2012 model year. Look for minor exterior styling updates along with the addition of an eight-speed automatic transmission to the drivetrain.

Audi A6
•2012 Audi A6: An all-new A6 sedan will arrive in late 2011. More dramatic styling and a wider of range of powertrains are expected. Like almost all Audis by that time, the A6 will feature an eight-speed automatic transmission and possibly a four-cylinder version for the U.S. On the top end, the A6 will likely get Audi's upcoming 4.0-liter, direct-injection V8 with a single turbocharger along with an optional seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission.

Audi A7
•2011 Audi A7: This is the production version of the Sportback concept. It will ride on the same platform as the redesigned A6, but feature more distinctive "coupelike" styling. Positioned above the A6 sedan in the lineup, the A7 won't offer a four-cylinder engine and it will be the first Audi to feature the company's latest seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Audi A8
•2012 Audi A8: After a full redesign in 2011, Audi may upgrade the A8's base engine from a normally aspirated 4.2-liter V8 to a turbocharged, direct-injection 4.0-liter V8 with around 400 horsepower.
•2014 Audi A8: Look for a minor midcycle refresh for the 2014 model year.

Audi Q3
•2011 Audi Q3: This compact crossover will slot in below the current Q5 and is scheduled to go into production in 2011. Essentially Audi's version of the Volkswagen's Tiguan, the Q3 will offer a similar range of four-cylinder engines.

Audi Q5
•2012 Audi Q5: A hybrid model will join the lineup in late 2011. Audi officials have also hinted that diesel power is a possibility, too. Expect to see a round of midcycle updates as well.

Audi Q7
•2013 Audi Q7: Expect to see an all-new Q7 arrive for the 2013 model year.

Audi R4
•2012 Audi R4: Audi hinted at this two-seat, midengine sports car with the e-tron concept at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. Although an electric version is possible, a conventionally powered model is likely to show up first. It will share much of its underlying hardware with the next-generation Porsche Cayman although the two cars may diverge in the engine department.

Audi R8
•2014 Audi R8: A midcycle refresh is possible for the 2014 model year that could involve new drivetrain options. The V12 TDI shown in concept form isn't expected to be one of them.

Audi RS5
•2011 Audi RS5: Although still not officially approved, the RS5 is expected to arrive in the U.S. in late 2010 or early 2011.

Audi S4
•2013 Audi S4: All-new in 2010, the S4 will most likely get a midcycle refresh for the 2013 model year.

Audi S5
•2011 Audi S5: After careful consideration, Audi decided to keep the V8 engine in the S5 coupe.
•2012 Audi S5: Like the A5, the S5 will be ripe for a midcycle refresh for the 2012 model year.

Audi S6
•2013 Audi S6: After the redesign of the standard A6 in 2012, expect to see an S6 equipped with a hotter version of Audi's upcoming 4.0-liter V8.

Audi S7
•2012 Audi S7: Although the A7 is designed to be a sportier version of the A6/A8 sedans, there will be an even more aggressive version of the A7, too. Like the larger S8, the S7 will most likely get a twin-turbo version of Audi's upcoming 4.0-liter V8.

Audi S8
•2012 Audi S8: A high-performance version of the 2010 Audi A8 is expected to arrive in mid-2011. It will be powered by a new twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with well over 400-horsepower. Spy photos of prototypes show only mild exterior changes like quad tailpipes and larger wheels and tires.

Audi TT
•2014 Audi TT: Look for a full redesign of the Audi TT during the 2014 model year.
