Did the 2009 Audi A6 just get back from vacation? It looks so...refreshed.

It might look very similar to last year's A6, but after closer inspection, we notice that some minor nipping and tucking have gotten this aging Hollywood starlet prepared for another red-carpet season.

But that's not the only reason the 2009 Audi A6 is looking so perky and uplifted. Besides new headlights, it has a more efficient V6 engine with a supercharger.

A Supercharger, You Say?
Isn't that word reserved for modified American V8 dragsters? What's a supercharger doing on an upwardly mobile six-cylinder Audi sedan? The answer: providing power in a more efficient package.

Replacing last year's normally aspirated V6 that produced 255 horsepower, this new supercharged 3.0-liter V6 is capable of 300 hp, getting close to the V8's 350 hp but for $10,000 less.
