They'd be wise not to.
Actually, Audi unveiled a 4 cylinder A6 hybrid in Detroit. It will be sold in the US, and will combine the 2.0T with an electric motor. Now granted, this is not strictly a direct competitor to the upcoming 5 series 4 cylinder. However, since there will be no A6 3.2L anymore to serve as a base model, Audi will almost surely bring the standard A6 2.0T to the US this generation as well. It is unlikely that they plan to price the new 3.0T low enough to be able to put it up against the base model offerings from the competition.
