The new Audi A4

jorgex · 09-16-2006, 09:48 PM

They are trying to catch the 3 series… but Audi is just a rebranch for VW (I’m just kidding!)

TheCount · 09-16-2006, 09:58 PM

I'm pretty sure everyone is aware that Audi is to VW what Lexus is to Toyota. Audi makes pretty good cars (as does VW, for that matter) so I'm not going to sit here and say that they suck, but to me, if it ever came down between a comporably priced BMW versus an Audi, I'd probably take the BMW every time.

I just think the styling is better, I'm not a fan of that rounded nose on all Audis.

Taittinger · 09-16-2006, 10:01 PM

That is sharp. If it came down solely on looks I would have a tough time between the 335i Sedan or the A4.

325 Baller · 09-16-2006, 10:11 PM

damn thats a mean looking automobile lol

Hunter399 · 09-16-2006, 10:18 PM

i would take an e92 over that

Like I said before… I’m just kidding; obviously Audi or VW makes pretty good cars! I wasn’t talking seriously!

But:

Audi A3 ≈ VW Rabbit (Golf)
Audi A4 ≈ VW Passat
Audi A8 ≈ VW Phaeton
Audi Q7 ≈ VW Touareg

is too much coincidence... If you see Lexus/Toyota; Acura/Honda; Infiniti/Nissan don't have this kind of coincidence.

Nissan does... All of the Nissan and Infiniti have the same steering wheel, is that coincidence?

EVO_S4 · 09-16-2006, 10:45 PM

I rock that

BK · 09-16-2006, 10:54 PM

Looks

to me. I love Audis, and VWs for that matter.

VoyagerDude · 09-16-2006, 10:54 PM

The (awesome) A4 spy shots or prototypes or concept photos have been out forever. But nobodu knows what the real 2008 A4 will look like.

Even European constructors use the same parts for different models, where they shouldn’t (ex.: Imagine the same steering wheel from 1 series in a 7 series, each model should have their individuality, BMW tries to do that).
I was trying to say is Audi and VW have almost the same models challenging against each other, but again they are good cars, and this A4 looks very Hot!

oneshare325 · 09-16-2006, 11:08 PM

Ok...I love it...I love me e90 more....There is to much boring flat metal on the doors! The front a back are nice, but I would still pick my e90!

D-Rock · 09-16-2006, 11:08 PM

Is that the B8 ?

lol... but yeah i get ur drift... i dunno... i've always liked audis... i mean if i got an A3 or A4 instead of the 330i... i woulda been happy... all great cars... but the BMW is better imo. anyways i think that a4 looks pretty sweet. but i'd rather take the s4 version of that

thedean786 · 09-16-2006, 11:23 PM

The lines seem a lot cleaner on that pic if it's real. Personally until they get rid of that hideous grill I see no reason to even think about buying a Audi.

Kit523 · 09-17-2006, 12:10 AM

wow that look real good!!!
but audi is changing looks again?

BenMW · 09-17-2006, 12:24 AM

These pictures have been out for over a year. I think they look good but im a bmw guy

tonee8519 · 09-17-2006, 01:25 AM

so there should be a bmw= aston martin.

BMW320i · 09-17-2006, 03:51 AM

yah iv seen those pics a long time before

looks like they are trying very hard, specially after the E90 winning the 2006 car-of-the-year award

but there were some spy pics (posted here on E90post) of the new audi A5 which targets the 335i

still nothing can b seen from the pics of the A5, but i think its gonna b very hard to overlap the E92 style (that car is a piece of art!!)

I definitely agree. Audi is really getting sexier with newer designs.

New Audi A4 is beautiful, new audi TT is beautiful, new A5 coupe looks promising....

what the hell is BMW doing.
