Audi A4 Cabriolet 2.0 TFSI S-Line Special Edition

Audi has added a new model to its UK A4 Cabriolet lineup. Based on the A4 Cabriolet 2.0 TFSI, the new A4 Cabriolet 2.0 TFSI S-Line Special Edition will feature the S line exterior styling pack that features a highly polished black painted grill and unique front and rear bumper design with rear diffuser. The newest A4 Cabriolet will also come equipped with unique 18 inch wheels — wearing 235/40 R18 sized rubber — and a lowered suspension.

Interior upgrades include Pearl Nappa leather-upholstered sports seats, a perforated leather trimmed S line sports steering wheel and brushed aluminum accents. The Special Edition Audi will also have an upgraded stereo system.

Power for the A4 Cabriolet 2.0 TFSI S-Line Special Edition will come from the same 200 horsepower 2.0L turbo-four found in the Volkwagen GTI. Audi claims the convertible can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 8.2 seconds and hit a top speed of about 146 mph.

The A4 Cabriolet 2.0 TFSI S-Line Special Edition will sticker for £29,990 and will hit UK showrooms in December.

No matter how good or bad Audi’s products may be, they lack excitement. This makes them an also ran German luxury automaker when they are compared to BMW or Mercedes Benz. If they can find a way to inject some excitement into their products, then they might be a little more competitive with the German big guns.

I meant exterior design. Besides the R8, all the rest of the cars suffer from an “if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all” appearance. I think Audi needs to work harder on providing a little more differentiation in its lineup. I know a brand’s portfolio needs to have coherence and a family resemblance, but I think it’s a little too prominent at Audi. The designs are not unattractive, but they lack a certain degree of excitement that I think could elevate the brand to the next level.

On the other hand, if you don’t want to be a “me too” type of person, then Audi is the perfect alternative to Mercedes Benz and BMW. I definitely don’t see as many Audi products on the road as I see Mercedes or BMW.

I think it is European tradition to make all cars look alike. Thus numbering schema instead of a name. Peugeot always had 20X, 30X 40X, 50X models, the smaller number was a smaller car. Same with BMW and Benz. BMW has 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 series and second and third numbers in the series indicates displacement, or at least it use to be. 320 meant 3 series of 2 liter displacement. Benz was numbering the same way. Actually all cars looked about the same within manufacturing series except for proportions.
Fiats just gave engine displacements as models until ‘64. The first one was 124, which was copying either French or German schema, except it did not mean anything, because it was followed by 125 and 131 as an evolution.

Too slow for the money. At that price, no excuse for poor performance.

Frankhoffy You might be right but its definitely not the worst, try these:
.
Nissan Big Thumb Harmonised Truck
Subaru Sambar Dias Astonish!!
Mazda Proceed Marvie Will Breeze
Mitsubishi Mum 500 Shall We Join Us
Mazda Autozam Carol MeLady
Suzuki Every Joy Pop Turbo
Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard
Daihatsu Rugged Field Sports Resin Top

Where do they find the room for such big names on their tiny cars?

I love it when they launch a “NEW MODEL”, called Special Edition, when it’s just, in this case, the same plain old A4 cabrio, except the new generation A4 is just about being released and Audi just wants to sell the “old” ones.
