i love the new TT look. Too bad it is 50K for the s-tronic quattro... way too much for that type of car, that can't beat a 135Bmw even.
they should lower the car by 10K.

.. is all over the place.

i've seen a bagillion since people started taking delivery..

it is quite nice IMHO, but just like the e90's/e92's, it suffers from big wheel syndrome.. as in it needs 18" or more to look good..

imo, those leds look really tacky on anything but an R8. the a4 looks ok with the s-line package but i still prefer the last gen.

I think Audi has finally found a way to the core of their problem for the previous generation of A4. It looks really nice to me, I was at the mall the other day where there were displays of A4s. I was like "That's a nice looking car!, I'd love to have one of those." I turned around to say "I almost forgot I had a e92" I know I'm exggerating a bit but still it looked that nice to me.

Those LEDs are going to look played out within 6 months. Besides, AUDIs push like a locomotive. The inside is really nice though.

Last summer (2007), i went to audi dealership to checkout the TT, pretty nice but no room in the back and it was $63K .......this wasn't even the 3.2 lol


but the A4 is pretty nice, its like an A/S5 4 doors

The TT is still a glorified FWD Rabbit/Jetta/A3. The Quattro version is a on demand only Haldex, not a full time 4WD system. If yoy want a real Quattro with Torsen full time 4WD you need an A4/6/8. The set back engine location and the 40/60 F/R torque split are the best features of the new A4. In terms of interior Audi is way better than BMW, except for the new 7 Series apparently.

I love the new look of the A4, those front lights are very unique and mean looking. Too bad the motors are still the same, I really hope Audi puts something special in the new S4. I heard it's gonna be a 6 cyl. supercharged 340-350 hp

TRue enough, the base is 50K and once you add the magneto-drive thingy, adaptive headlights, 18 inch wheels or better, and some other option you are at 60K for something that should be priced at 40 ......... in my opinion.
I'd have no problem with a 60K price if the car had 300hp and could do 0-100 in 5 seconds flat. But it does not.

It looks nice, but way too pricey for the stuff you get

In my opinion the entry level A4 is overpriced by 5K at least.

they should lower the pricing across the board by 5K,
then start the A4 at 36K, and end up the best version at 45K
The S4 should start at 60K. I have a feeling it will start at 65K. oh well.

i test drove one a 2.0 without the sport package but w/ dynamic drive system. my stock 325 feels better. nice package though I would like to see it with the S-line suspension so I'll hold judgement for now.

aside from the front end, it looks bloated and boring IMO .. revamped interior is nice for sure.. too bad they're not offering it MT .. also overpriced for the powerplant

actually, the look of the new a4 grows on u as u see it more.. just like the giant ass trapezoidal grill did for many ppl 3 years ago..

i'll also disagree with the audi being overpriced.. i just priced out a 3.2 with quattro without navigation and that audi drive select, the only options missing, and it came to an MSRP of $54,700.. i think that's a reasonable price considering a similarly equipped 335xi, no idrive or audio package, is in the high $58,000's.. the only difference between these two cars is the 35 or so hp difference (disregarding the under-rating of power by BMW).. the audi gets 19" wheels with the s-line package and alcantara inserts in the seats.. that interior is just spectacular, i'd invite anyone to actually sit in one and disagree with me.. my bmw's interior just leaves so much to be desired..
