Any one tested the new release from last days?

Yes, but can't see difference from v3 yet. The same "bugs".

b.e. HexV2 with ATMEGA and FT232RQ is the best at a good price. Prohibitive price is V6.1 but goodest.
I reffer to clones.

But HexV2 are not really Hex-V2, they are regular HEX-USB+CAN, so why buying them?

I compare the 3 cables below. After flashing them, they are all identical in term of VCDS functionality... aren't they?

Close. Seller didn't reply about real testing of ATA6561 comparing autoscan speed vs classic interface. So that is just a marketing trick.

@beepi: of course V2 is regular aka HexK+CAN. But first link = a version of clone where 7805 is very hot. Why? Not sure, bad quality of components. "V2" fake is cold.
@Kaalis: That speed not usefull. I think USB (FTDI) + protocol cannot work at this speed realy.
And as i wrote here few time ago.."V2" is a little lazzy like "regular" HexK+CAN (a good clone).

About first link: could it be because of Palce chip to make it cheaper (bigger profit) in pictures but still with Atmel 16V8B in description?
Yes, you are correct. That's why it's marketing.
