To be honest, in terms of looks the B8 is the nicest of all 3 (I saw a few in the metal in Europe), but...
Here are the main reasons against an A4:
- no RWD; even quattro is the same dull 50/50 torque split (I'd only get an Audi with rear bias quattro)
- the new B8 A4 is not yet available here
- the end-of-life B7 edition of the old A4 is 89$/month more then the 2 candidates above (Note it's a quattro vs. others cheaper RWD, but I'd never buy a FWD sport sedan); Audi have horrible lease options in Canada, so imagine the payments when the new one comes in
- a bit higher insurance premium
