I hope Audi come close to BMW in driving dynamics - that will force BMW to produce even better cars and finally start to use new tech (eg. DCT).

But I have one reservation: Audi have a tendency to make their cars larger than direct rivals. Eg. A6 is bigger than 5er & E-class, Q7 is bigger than X5 & ML etc.

And size can hurt driving dynamics a lot. I'm sure 3er will be still more dynamic if new A4 turns out to be of Passat size.

Unless they will use extremely stiff full-aluminium body frame, and active suspension with active roll stabilization. Which I guess will not be the case.
