Talking 2009 Audi A4/S4....

...is finally on Audi's website!!! Still looks like they are in transition from having the '08 taken off though.






That's it.

The commercial for the new A4 is SWEET...

And the website devoted to the new A4 is top notch

I know they have reliabilty issues, but these new audi's are beautiful.

I just saw it and thought

Haven't they cleaned up alot of their previous reliability issues they've been notorious for??

From what I understand they are pretty reliable cars now. Maybe not a Honda, but nothin to scoff at.

I'm just hoping they come out with the RS model for it.

I don't see how or why they wouldn't....but if the RS comes out for it...

Ugh, don't tempt me!

If the reliability weren't so questionable, an A4 or A3 would likely be my next car.

beautiful car, acura needs to take notes...everything on the audi flows so well, whereas on the new TL it all seems so forced.

Pretty nice, wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do, I really like the S line wheels, but really dislike the S line interior. If I were in the market for a car like this I would consider the Audi, which is not a statement I have ever made before.

That's entirely possible too ... Bottom line is Audi can do no wrong with me right now.

Even the next A3 is a looker (hella expensive when new though).

The A4 2.0TFSI Prestige with 211/258 is $43k for S-Line, Metallic Paint, Rear Airbags, Sunshades, and Tiptronic.

That is a LOT of money for a 4-cyl ... No matter how good it is (and I hear it's VERY good). We just need to get used to the fact that as long as the dollar struggles, we're gonna get jobbed.

^ Wow $54,125?!?!

Ugh. That's like almost M3/ISF range. Not to mention it'll depreciate at like $1.5k a month.

I personally love the design of the new Audis, but no thank you. I'll have to pass on a new one, and possibly consider a used one if reliability is better.

thats the problem I've seen with the a4's is their pricing relative to their competitors... my friend was trying to buy an a5 a little while back and the dealer markup is through the roof

the S5 is ridiculously badass.

seeing those headlights and LEDs in your rearview mirror at night makes it so menacing.

I passed one going the other way two nights ago taking a friend home.
My pants got tighter afterwards.

The pricing kind of turned me off as well, comparing it dollar to dollar to the competition, I would be more into a 335i, or M3 for similar money. $42k for a turbo'd I4 just doesn't work for me.

Looks like a BIG car....and I kind of like the currenty style more. The side profile crease works on the coupe, but for some reason doesn't do much for me on the sedan. Rest of the car looks great though

These new Audis look so good that I fear for the next gen Audis. How will they top the A3, A4, A5, A6 and their respective Sx variants, along with the TT and R8? Its just not possible.....

Kind of like Acura...except Acura never peaked IMO. lol

I fear that too. I love them so much. And I can see myself years down the road being interested in one...but if the styling changes, you're right. How can it be better?

They can start by making them somewhat reliable

Although they have been better, I would never want to *own* a VW/Audi. Everyone I know has had nothing but problems with them. Nothing serious, but still a pain in the ass to keep up with. Their styling is on point though, thats for sure.
