February 21, 2008 by George Skentzos
Audi will showcase its all-new Audi A4 sedan at the Melbourne International Motor Show next week.
This latest-generation A4 will be launched in Australia in late April, with the Motor Show marking the official start of sales.
Audi expects to sell 2,500 vehicles this year, and outline the typical A4 customer as aged between 30 and 54 years, successful, with a young family, and likely to be in a management role with an interest in design, technology and computing.
The car will be launched with the following engine variants and pricing:
1.8 TFSI manual RRP $50,900
1.8 TFSI multitronic RRP $53,500
2.0 TDI multitronic RRP $54,900
3.2 FSI quattro tiptronic RRP $88,500
A 2.7-litre TDI multitronic, priced at $67,900 will follow in May/June.

Things i’ve read about this A4 is its a worthy challenger to the 3 series for road manners. Of course the interior is a step ahead of the big 3 anyway. Its even said the A4 is better looking than the A5. Due out here next month I think.
Next RS4 will be straight up the M3’s chuff. Sorry Bav Miss. I still think the M3 an ace machine.
autoexpress rated the new A4 2.0tdi first in a comparo with
mondeo, c merc & 3bmw. describing the improved dynamics as “a revelation”
The 1.8 litre engine for a bigger and heavier model is a joke played on uninformed buyers. Don’t know why anyone would buy a base model Audi, or BMW 320 or C-200, as they are all badly underpowered (the previous C-180 was even worse). As for the 3.2 V6, how many would pay such a high rip off price (even worse than the C-280 at $86K)?
This new A4 1.8 TFSI multitronic RRP $53,500 costs less than the current out-going model A4 1.8T multitronic RRP $56,150. How can this be ?

The A4 will have to be more than its usual good looks and excellent interior. The novelty isn’t as attractive as when the first A4 came out. The 3-Series is as great as ever, and the new players from Detroit and Japan are very impressive as well. This new entry from the quadruple-rounded marque needs to be equally special in order to compete.
Saw this at the Melbourne motor show and was blown away. Did anyone have a look at the double-wishbone suspension and alloy front subframe on this thing. Incredible design detail throughout, totally uncompromised packaging and the interior is stunning. Mind you I only looked at the 3.2 quattro.
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeett.
i want.
