Audi is improving like crazy....

Dammmittt · 05-21-2007, 11:53 AM

I don't think audi's were ever "bad" cars...but they're definately giving the other german car makers some competition..

yellowg555 · 05-21-2007, 12:02 PM

Well, there is a reason why their resale value is absolute shit...they completely fall apart after the warranty is up.

enwhykiid · 05-21-2007, 03:01 PM

audis are getting way sexier, looks a little longer and way less bland than the old a4

hks786 · 05-21-2007, 03:02 PM

I knew someone would make this chop since we know the A5 is based on the new A4, I was gonna do it myself but I couldnt be bothered. Looks great in my opinion, hope it looks like that !

ALPINE6SPD · 05-22-2007, 09:48 AM

looks really GOOD. It looks a lot longer in those pics but we will have to wait and see if these are close to what the final product is. Audi has some great designs right now I have to give them credit for that.

Love the look -will reserve judgement about handling and drive-line thunk (which the old/current A4s have in AWD mode) until the car comes out.

mmm def · 05-22-2007, 07:09 PM

I like it a lot. For the people who really bash on Audi reliability, is it any worse than the other German cars out there? I think all have really improved dramatically over the years.

We sould our 95 S6 with 185k, still running strong. My dads RS6 has 65k+ on it and no issues.

E90330iS · 05-22-2007, 07:24 PM

New Audis are getting very luxurious looking!

ksfrogman · 05-22-2007, 07:46 PM

That stretched wheelbase makes the A4 look like a long car.

Chris.G · 05-22-2007, 08:09 PM

thank God that we have some proper competition for BMW!!

AH · 05-22-2007, 09:04 PM

Nice.

Simple1 · 05-23-2007, 08:44 PM

ummmh suspect to me but I'll wait to see it in person if it's anything like the A5 in person, BORING!

Yes, I owned 2 S4's and an A4 all of which were purchased new and all of them were in the shop repeatedly within the first six months. I loved my S4's and the A4 was just okay but they aren't worth the hassle IMO.

I have heard that same assumption about all german cars. I think Audi as well as BMW have made a huge improvement over their car's long-term durability, BMW much more though. I think Mercedes is the one that is declining in this category though.

Regardless I think the upcoming A4 is a big step in the right direction for Audi.

DustinDallas · 05-25-2007, 02:22 PM

I'll be the first to break the trend..That thing is hideous. I prefer the current one.

Luckily it must be a chop, Audi would never release something with proportions that awkward..oh wait, they did..the A5.

omg516 · 05-25-2007, 03:40 PM

I think it looks nice, I wouldn't mind a 2.0T with say 230hp, quattro and dsg. As long as it doesn't become any fatter that is...
