WRONG. A4 hasn't had any parts shared platform-wise since over a decade ago with the B5 chassis.
Sweet car!

Wrong.
And get a spell checker. It's glorified.

What the hell is "gloryfiled"?
And why is the base engine losing power and displacement?

@Don,
They mean the 1.8 TFSI will be the base engine outside North America.
If only the diesels would come here...

Looks good! Those LED elements in the headlights should be pretty rad looking at night.

Nice looking car. Pity about the whole Audi reliability thing...

Um... except for the lack of motivation. 260 HP? Hmm...

The rear is a carbon copy of the A5. Same goes for the interior. All in all...I want one.

I'm sorry... but where are the rear and interior pictures that everyone is talking about???
William 9:25PM (8/27/2007)
My educated speculation and Carscoop's description of the car. Carscoop received tons of official images of the new A4 before the embargo date by an anonymous reader today. Lucky bastards (no offence meant)!

Looks like Audi is expanding the "new" corporate look to all the models. Once again, you'll be able to buy one Audi in 3 convenient sizes.

Yeah, Max!
With the exception of the A8 they do all look alike, don't they.
For a while the new A6 was easy to spot...and also easy to confuse the rear-quarter with what a big Saturn might lok like.
Pity about the reliability? Yes
Pity about the fact that they are basically front-heavy snowplows too. Though that does make them nice highway cruisers.

Darn mouse has a mind of its own sometimes, I swear. Hit reply when I meant to add a new comment. Anyhow, as I was saying before I interrupted myself... It's a nice looking car. Pity the reliability is likely to be on par with current Audi products.

what do you mean about poor reliability? My mother has had 2 Audi A4s in 6 years time and they were both excellent cars. Never one issue. SO what do u mean ??

yawn... wake me up in another 7 years...
