So the Q5 is really getting pulled off. I guess one or two years after its launch Porsche will probably slap the market with their baby Cayenne.

By the end of 2007 Audi will furthermore replace the current A 4 by an all new model.

The next generation A4 will get a more compact styling, and while most new cars grow in size, the new A4‘s overall length is rumoured to decrease by between 10 and 15 centimeters. It is set to rival the BMW 3-series, which by then will be on the market since 2005, and the upcoming Mercedes C-Class, which will also debut in 2007.

The new A4 will again get power from 4 cyl. fuel engines and various TDI Diesels between 120 and 245 HP. The most powerful versions of the fuel engines are going to deliver between 250 and 500 HP in the top of the line model.

With this, Audi will be well equipped to take a chance against the powerful competitors.

The photos are showing a computer rendering and a prototype mule during cold weather testing in Scandinavia. The test car is apparently a sporty sedan featuring four exhaust pipes similar to the BMW M3.

After reading those information i got worried and called Martin on the phone (yup Winterkorn) and he told that the informations are completely wrong.
The new A4 will grow significantly in size. The length will be around 4.70 m and the wheelbase 2.85 m (just like the roadjet concept which is based on the B8 platform).
Audi wants to offer more interior space and trunk volume than it's German rivals (as already has done with A6 and A8) , and A4 will follow the same philosophy.
Also Martin told me that the PS of the A4 is very acurate but the small details will make it look less like an Acura and more elegant.
Finally he told me to say to the other members here to stay tuned in this forum for more details about future Audi models as he will be in touch with me from now on.
Cheers.

Audi Q5 production announced. - 05-19-2006, 06:27 PM



New Audi Q5 Will Be Built in Germany

Quote:
INGOLSTADT, Germany - The decision has been made: the new Audi Q5 will be built in Germany. The new model will start rolling off the production line at Ingolstadt in 2008. To that end, around EUR 300 million will be invested in the production facilities over the next years. Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, explained: “The decision demonstrates what potential there is for industrial production in Germany. We are delighted that the Audi Q5 will be built in Ingolstadt, now that we have reached an agreement with the Works Council enabling us to build it at a competitive cost.” A total of some 1,700 workers will be involved in production of the Audi Q5 in Ingolstadt. “This decision will also benefit employment at Neckarsulm, because both plants will be very closely interlinked,” added Winterkorn.

Peter Mosch, Chairman of the General Works Council of AUDI AG, declared: “After some lengthy rounds of tough negotiations, we are delighted with the outcome: Ingolstadt gets production of the Audi Q5! The overriding concern of our works councils is to safeguard jobs at Audi's German locations in the long term. The decision to build the Audi Q5 at Ingolstadt and also the recent decision to build the R8 at Neckarsulm represent initial steps towards achieving this goal. We on the Works Council will continue to push for utilising existing production capacity to the full, through new models.”

The Vice-Chairman of the IG Metall trade union and Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Berthold Huber, concluded: “This decision proves that it is truly possible to build high-quality, marketable cars in Ingolstadt and therefore in Germany, for all the complaints we have been hearing about excessive labour costs. The dedication, experience and ability of a workforce are invaluable assets.”

The Bavarian Prime Minister, Dr. Edmund Stoiber, likewise welcomed the decision in Ingolstadt's favour: “The fact that such an important model for Audi is going to be built in Ingolstadt will provide a boost to Bavarian industry as a whole, because its supply industry in the wider region will benefit, along with the immediate location itself. I am delighted at this future investment in Bavaria as a production base.”

The decision to build the Audi Q5 at Ingolstadt is the third major decision within a short space of time that AUDI AG has reached in favour of a German location. Just a few months ago, it was announced that the new Audi A5 is to be built in Ingolstadt, and the Audi R8 sports car in Neckarsulm. Production of the Audi R8 will commence in the fourth quarter of 2006.

The Audi Q5 will join the Audi Q7 as the Audi brand's second model in the sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment. “The Audi Q5 will be an overtly sporty vehicle that will add an important product to the Audi model range. The Audi Q5 will take us a big step closer to vehicle sales of 1.4 million per year, a target that we have set ourselves for 2015,” continued Winterkorn.

At present, the Audi A3, A3 Sportback, A4 saloon and Avant and, in conjunction with Györ, the Audi TT Coupé and Roadster are built in Ingolstadt. In 2005, a total of 510,416 vehicles left the Ingolstadt production lines. The Audi A6 saloon and Avant and the A8 are built in Neckarsulm, with production of the Audi R8 due to commence there in the fourth quarter of 2006. In Neckarsulm, 241,070 vehicles were manufactured last year.

Perhaps? My understanding is that all new Audi's from this point on will be based off of one platform (modular componnent system - don't ask details because I'm not to keen on them), then again this could share the same platform as the new Vee Dub mini ute, the Marekesh.
