The last platform update was for the 2002 model. 2006 models received a new engine (2.0T), cosmetics, and a couple S4 suspension parts...but the platform is the same so it was really more of a MMY refresh. So, it is due for a full model change. Rumor has it that the new rear-biased torsen AWD will trickle down to the A4 fro mthe RS4. I'd love to see DSG added as well but that may not happen due to engine layout.
