Not much chance of Audi screwing this up. It’ll kick ass once again.

If it weren’t for Audi’s horrendous reliability, I would seriously consider this as my next car.

Well done Audi. Try to out do BMW again. Won’t happen. Throw as much technology into it as you can get, give it a great engine and it’s still 3 steps behind BMW. And always will be. Who just cleaned up at the engine of the year awards…? (sarcasm intended!)

The bottom of the new front fascia looks like the Volvo’s S60R

^^agreed tmn, and as an owner i’ll take it as a complement…

I would have reliability concerns as a potential buyer, having known several close friends with Audi’s / VW’s.

Still can’t believe people make a good living taking pictures of a tent on wheels.

This conversation never happened:
Mr. Jones the Teacher: Well, then John, what would you like to do when you leave school?
John : I’d lake to take pictures of tents on wheels, and get paid loads, Sir!

Am also not sure about the reliability concerns you seem to have in the U.S. with Audis. Don’t they travel well? – they seem fine over this side of the pond – had 3, no problems as all, & they’re not renowned for bad reliability here either.

will it look different than the other Audis this time?

yeah…they don’t have reliability issues here too.

Rushed over to this link when i saw the title “Spied: 2009 A4″ in my Feeds preview… only to something drive around in a parking lot with a car cover on it.

didnt the new audi A4 come out in 2005? why are they replacing it again?

Come on now: That was just a minor facelift.

I’m not sure I like like the car cover. Maybe if they put it in a blue?

Where’s the leftlane artist’s rendering – like they did with the next gen Saturn Aura? Bring it forthwit! Don’t make me draw it myself!

well if it was a minor facelift then why did they bother introducing an all new RS4?? so does that mean that when the new A4 comes out in 2009 will there be an all new RS4??

Yeah, looks like the new RS4 is probably going to be dropped around ‘09. That’s what happened last time: the 2001-or-so RS4 was made for like 1 or 2 model years (& never brough to the US) and then got cut. An RS takes many a model year to happen, & by the time Audi’s done, little time is left.

WTH is the point of having 2 holes cut in the windscreen? Are they planning something big there lol?

This is like looking at Christina Aguilera in Rosie O’Donnell’s mu-mu.

My dad has a 2005 A8, and he has 30,000 miles and little things are breaking inside the interior like the MMI is acting weird, certain panels are very loose, tons of rattles, it sucks cause I love that car. But german car reliability isnt too amazing to begin with

Eww…another Audi tent. Looks sweet, LOL. The 2005 A4 was only exterior updates and the new engines…fairly extensive for a MMC but the interior was basically the same and hasn’t really been revised since the 2003 model change.

I don’t know why everyone dotes on the 3 series. I took one out for a test drive the other day, a 330 coupe. Nice, very nice, but it didn’t totally blow me away. I agree, the A4 isn’t all that fast either, but the interior is more interesting.

I still think Mercedes kills them both. I would rather get an E-class than loaded 3.

ive already started saving my pennies!

The only BMW worth getting is anything above the 3 series. The interior improvement of the 5 over 3 and E over C really justifies the price of admission unlike their cheapest models.
