Even the C class is a larger car. That will work against the 3 series. Alot of Gen X and Gen Y are wanting kids and in a 3 there is no room for a car seat...sorry this will be a big selling point for the A4.

Does anyone still think that the 3.2 competes against BMW 328 after looking at pricing? - Spoonie G 2008-08-01 07:22:28 (506 views)

FWD is fine for economy cars and those below 180-200 hp - Bada Bing 2008-08-01 13:51:46 (120 views)

isnt there a BMW forum for you to go play at....maybe you are on BMWs Payroll - Blownaway 2008-08-01 14:04:53 (71 views)

funny... because you are on Audi's payroll. - ZaGerman3.0TT 2008-08-01 23:49:50 (35 views)

That's your best comeback? Hopefull you're better at sales - Bada Bing 2008-08-01 15:30:56 (88 views)

Yet, Lexus, Acura and Infinity all still manage to call themselves - Blownaway 2008-08-01 15:38:55 (106 views)

Infiniti has no FWD cars. Lexus ES is FWD but does not pretend to be a sport sedan - Bada Bing 2008-08-01 15:42:13 (81 views)

Um... - Blownaway 2008-08-01 15:49:16 (99 views)

Audi AG must have shifted from wanting volume growth in the U.S. - Bada Bing 2008-08-01 16:12:22 (85 views)

Yeah but to get that volume and then take a hundred million hit - Blownaway 2008-08-01 16:18:03 (79 views)

What about an "09" A4 3.2? - Spoonie G 2008-08-01 13:21:44 (59 views)

Perhaps Audi is a better managed company than BMW... - John J Szobocsan 2008-08-01 10:48:04 (160 views)

B7 3.2 pricing already put the V6 way above 328i prices. - Bada Bing 2008-08-01 10:18:03 (129 views)

The size of the car places it directly against the 5 Series - Blownaway 2008-08-01 09:55:30 (122 views)

Re: The size of the car places it directly against the 5 Series - dsw123 2008-08-01 11:02:07 (187 views)

When you see the car in person, you will know what I mean. - Blownaway 2008-08-01 12:43:09 (134 views)

In that case, the A6 must be directly placed against the 7-Series. Wrong! - Bada Bing 2008-08-01 10:24:39 (117 views)

I immediately noticed the 3 series is much more narrow. The B pillar is in my space.... - MKV Aaron 2008-08-02 05:26:01 (35 views)

Yes, I do. - Bob58 2008-08-01 08:40:20 (109 views)

You are wrong. - Spoonie G 2008-08-01 09:10:50 (90 views)

And you're still an idiot. You've been playing this broken record since before the A5 world premiere - Bob58 2008-08-01 20:14:55 (69 views)

I love you too Bob58. - Spoonie G 2008-08-02 09:58:22 (23 views)

Upon reflection, I think you're right on the money. - snagitseven 2008-08-01 09:35:57 (124 views)

Not the "only" criteria but it is a criteria. Disagree? - Spoonie G 2008-08-01 09:10:00 (70 views)
