2008 pluses: ipod connectivity / music hard disk (both very big deals to me as a music lover)
Can anyone think of any reasons to lease one as opposed to another?

 
I would get the '08. I think its a better looking car overall, and the white gauges are a big improvement as well. That is unless you really like the saddle leather, which appears to be gone.

Perhaps this motor will also find a home in the A6, before the next update of that model?

It makes sense to get the performance and economy of the A6 increased to compete with the 5 and 3 series.
 
The RS4 will need to be blown as well for the respective performance enhancement.

I read that it was supposed to slot in the middle of the A6 range, replacing the old 2.7T. Audi has to know that their 265hp 3.1L really isn't enough these days.

Has anyone ever used BG 44K fule additive or BG MOA oil additive? If so, are they any good?

Some folks swear by BG products, however, many other folks (me included) regard these products as snake oil, products designed to separate folks from their money. FWIW, the odds on bet is that your Owner's Manual clearly recommends that no oil and fuel additives are to be used on your car at all. Why do you suppose that is?
 
The fact is that the individuals that designed and built your engine designed it to run hundreds of thousands of miles with just the recommended maintenance, and the use of after market additives will, if anything, be at least as much of a detriment to that engine as they will be as a benefit.

Funny thing, the Owner's Manual for my 550i says just that... not to use additives. Yet BMW makes an additive for the gas. I think it has more to do with getting customers to buy a car company's own additives vs. others. Personally I have had some really good results with BG products.

Honda has announced the recall of 43,000 Acura RL sedans. The recall — which affects 2005-2008 model year cars — is due to a faulty power steering hose that can crack and leak fluid onto the catalytic converter, possibly leading to fire.
 
Earlier this year, Honda recalled 182,756 Civic sedans, making it one of the most recalled automakers of 2007.
 
Despite the recent recalls, Honda still maintains one of the lowest recall rates in the industry.

As a manufacturer starts seriously pumping out cars there will always be recalls made because of the big numbers of cars produced. It's just the law of averages.
