Yes with Audi it is but then the 4cyl is not a
replacement for the 6cyl. Cannot speak for NA but in Europe I highly doubt if it will cheaper. At best the same price but more likely slightly more expensive. Why? Because it produces more power, is cleaner and more efficient. Logic does not come into it, only economics. A clue is also in the designation old I6 was a 2.8i, new T4 still a 2.8i (not 2.0ti for example) No way they are going to drop the price on the "old 2.8i" vs "new 2.8i"
As an example Fiat have brought out a new 2cyl 0.9l engine (TwinAir) in the Fiat 500 over here. Its quite a bit more expensive than the 4cyl 1.2l and 1.4l. Why? More power etc etc.
