So... you're a tt owner who's gut reaction is to compare a four cylinder diesel car with sedans powered by V6's and V8's? Alright we'll move past that.
Diesel is heavier? of course. Defeats the purpose? Nope, having driven my share of VAG products producing 250lb ft of torque at the front wheels I can easily understand why audi choose haldex instead of fronttrack.
Sure, the car will cost over $35,000 but that doesnt defeat anything, where does it say this is for the North American market? What's Audi's primary market? Europe. And what outsels ALL petrol luxury brand cars in europe, regardless of make or model? Diesel. will this sell like hotcakes in europe like every other Diesel car? Yup.
If you consider this car, and the use of the technology provided, in the context of it's intended market it makes perfect sense.
