Thread: New Audi A4: Full Press Info and More Pics

  1. 08-29-2007 02:19 AM #1

    Ahead of the car's Frankfurt Auto Show debut, Audi has released a small collection of photos and full press text for its best-selling A4 replacement. The brand is using the car's launch to introduce a slew of technology and equipment, features the car will most certainly need as it enters the hotly contested segment where it competes.

    The D-pillar area looks like in the current gen, just like the new A6 looked like its predecessor in that area.

    starting to look better with more new shots of it

  6. 08-29-2007 02:52 AM #6
    Looks like a 4-door A5. I like.

  7. 08-29-2007 03:00 AM #7
    All in all it looks great and I love the new headlights, but from behind it looks a little to much like the e90.

    omg it looks so much better in white!!!


  9. 08-29-2007 03:04 AM #9
    Wow, it looks fantastic.

    Especially in Audi Ibis White (no bias here ):


  10. 08-29-2007 03:07 AM #10
    Gorgeous car.

    White is definitely the winning color, too.

    i want to see a full side pic... other renderings of the A4 showed it with a long hood and short trunk which i didnt like at all... but these pictures seem to show it with a more even proportion

    2.0TDI will get about 43mpg(US)...that's not too bad for a heavy car like this.
    I'd love to get the v6, though the gas mileage drops to 34, which isn't that great.
    i wonder why they thought the 2.7TDI is a good idea as it only gets 35.6mpg, a whopping 1.6 mpg better than the 3.0TDI

  14. 08-29-2007 03:36 AM #14
    is it not comming with the 2.0t FSI

    mostly an improvement over B7, but still getting a little too busy for my taste...

    Looks very good. Bring over one of the stronger Diesels with manual transmission and quattro, and I might reconsider my next purchase...

    Of course, I would prefer a wagon...

    The front LEDs look a bit screwy in these pictures, other than that, both pictures and data look phenomenal. I especially like the reduced weight and the mpg figures.

    Those are the Euro engines --- smaller displacement is valued there because of reduced taxes. Also, the 2.7 is matched specifically to the FWD/multitronic.

    In what way is 34mpg average bad for a powerful V6 AWD?

    The plusses:
    * Another new car that doesn't have the windowline I keep bashing
    *Nice wheels

    The not-so-plusses:
    *The rear looks like that new benz, and a few other cars
    *Not a fan of the SUV interior
    *The sides of the car kinda remind me of a Taurus for some odd reason
    *The new LED headlights look completely out of place, like someone shoved rope lighting in them.

    The tail lights look like something Subaru would do, rear end mercedes, side.. still ford. With the old A4's window line, and the engine is mounted sideways. Eh, whatever. *yawn*

    Beautiful car. Looks a lot like the A5 for less $$$. I love the A5. Best looking Audi ever IMO.

    Hopefully the MK6 VW Jetta will look this good.

    looks aside, based on the a5/s5 previews, the new a4 should be a step-up dynamically

    I love that shot.

    I still think that they should have changed it up a bit more. It doesn't look all that different from the B7 in my eyes.

    I feel opposite, I think the design is poor. Just doesn't look right....

    Car looks pretty good though, I like it.

    Are those LED's in the headlights similar to BMW's halos?

    I need to see thsoe lights in person... so far I'm not diggin them, not on the R8, not on the A5, not on this...
    HELP! The forums have fallen and I can't get back up!

  28. 08-29-2007 08:53 AM #28
    I need more pictures... I wonder what the dash will look like if you do not order navigation? I like how the BMW's look without it and think the A4's might look good too... I just hate how Navi screens "clutter" or stand out in the middle of the dash.

    A source at Audi says no... not initially. 3.2 is confirmed and 3.0 TDI is unofficially confirmed. What happens below that remains to be seen. Much of that also depends on their A3 strategy.

    omg that is just gorgeous, puts the 3-series to shame!

    WTF is up with the transverse engine in that one pic? Is that really an A4 engine?

    I'm sure the picture is just turned 90°. The A4 will continue to use a longitudinal engine.

    I wasn't totally sold on the update until I saw these new pics. It's looking really good, and the proportions are definitely improved over the B7.


  35. 08-29-2007 09:26 AM #35
    wow, looks very nice. but they need to do something about the engine choices for the u.s. market tho. but the highest engine output of only 265hp is somewhat of a disappointment. they need to put a turbo in that vr6 or better yet put the S3 engine in the 2.0t models.
