Default B6.1.. comments?

Hello everybody,
I was expecting comments on the first pics and information on the B6.1, but nothing yet.. So I'm gonna start the discussion!
By looking at the pics it looks like the new transmission is not likely to fit the B6 chassis, and if this is confirmed it's a real shame.
I would say that the new gearbox does not use the rear two narrow holes but uses instead the wide ones for the D block.
I would hope (and it would make sense) that the front and centre pairs of holes are maintained.
The C block is different, and does not use wide mounting holes as in the B6.
I am wondering whether I will be able to use the original B6 C block and still fit the new gearbox.

If this is not possible.. I will be really disappointed: why calling the car B6.1 if you cannot update the B6 to the new specs? Call it B7 then!!
