u cant just compare the front to the front offcourse they will look the same , they both are audi's, u have to compare the whole car to know the differance, but speaking of the interior, im gonna have to admit that the A4 has the same exact interior like the A5, not a bad thing , but it would be so much better if they gave us something new .

Tycoon, I’m Albanian so I’ll try to translate what Richboy was saying.....

He was simply stating that car enthusiasts like all of us here at GCZ are likely pleased with Audi’s new feature on the A4 called “Drive Select” whereas ordinary(non-car enthusiasts) buyers probably wouldn’t care whether it was there or not. I got ya Tyc. Next time you need Albanian translated just holla.

The press blurb that Bartek posted earlier on in this thread appears to confirm this.

What's nice about the flexibility in the engine orientation is that now, S-Tronic (DSG) can be offered on the FWD A4's for the first time. I'm curious to see when and how DSG (I hate using the term S-Tronic) gets implemented in quattro driven models. I have a distinct impression that Audi have engineered the new asymmetrical quattro drivetrain not only to facilitate the rearward location of the engine but also to accomodate DSG mechanicals in the gearbox. Interesting times...

That's great news indeed. One thing most of us forget is that this car will drive very, very differently from the B7, despite the talk about how this just looks like a facelift. It will be an entirely different car on the road.

I'm just excited now to see whether DSG can be implemented more liberally than before. It's such a pity Audi stuck multitronic on its sweet models like the B7 2.0TFSI and A6 C6 2.0TFSI (FWD). Those sorely deserve a DSG gearbox.

I highly doubt that you'll see a B8 1.8T Quattro w/ Haldex, even though it's a transversal configuration.

It looks 100x better when there not on if you ask me..

Well, they sure do look better on the A5/S5. They feel more sober.


The LEDs on the new A4 look a little like it was a LED strap bought from IKEA...

If Audi did this with the B7:

Then imagine what they could do with the already good looking B8...

This thing is hot.

I'm still not digging it.



Superb craftsmanship, but that doesn't inspire me.

I doubt IRL sighting will change anything. I didn't in A5 case, and it probably won't in A4 either.


Am I blind? Or do I really have so much different taste preferences - finding Audi cars bland. Yes, they are handsome but bland (incl TT & A5).

I really do not understand.

Whatever.

Just my 2 cents.

That's an S-line, although (in the UK at least) they are more commonly found with the 18" RS6 style five arm wheels.
