I just bought a new 2011 Audi A4 (8-speed transmission) and a gentleman I know stated that Audi's were just glorified Volkswagens....Is this true? Same parts....

Sweep his comments under the rug. He's just jealous . True, both cars may share some of the same parts since they are part of the VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group). Audi is more refined IMO.

Nearly EVERY automaker has a premium division...
Ford and Lincoln
Nissan and Infiniti
Honda and Acura
Toyota and Lexus
etc. etc. This all being said, even though Audi is owned under VAG, they have different teams of designers, quality assurance, etc. It's a different scope of vehicles after all, right?

Audi is a subsidiary of VW, but "VAG" isn't the acronynm for "Volkswagen Audi Group":

Yeah, and all cars are glorified horse carriages - have 4 wheels, take you from point A to point B...That gentlemen is either jealous or can't tell his a*s from a hole in the ground. Either way, you should disregard the opinions of such people.

They may share certain parts, this is to keep costs of vehicles low to the customer like you, and why spend money developing something new when you can build on something you already have to make it better right?
