The "emotional response" to the new Audi A4 hasn't been a positive one, but it's usually the case with any new Audi. While the lords of the rings are not on top of their design game, their engineering is still top-notch.
So it's that part of the 2016 A4 that the commercials are focusing on. As far as we know, Ingolstadt has not yet started making these sedans, but the mood is being set with German customers by using clear ad videos.
The first says that the driver can't feel the new combustion cycle or the lightness of the cylinder block, but he will experience the thrills of driving and the sound of the engine. The highlights of the promo are the new 2-liter TFSI and 3-liter TDI clean diesel. The petrol one is capable of producing 190 PS consumes less than 5 liters per 100 kilometers, while the second delivers up to 272 PS and can ordered in combination with a limited slip differential and quattro.
At launch, several engines will be available on the new A4, starting with a 1.4 TFSI making 150 PS, followed by two versions of the 2-liter TFSI (190 and 252 PS), two of the 2.0 TDI (150 and 190 PS) and another two of the 3-liter diesel we mentioned.
Next up, Audi toots its own horn with the luxury Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system. It consists of 19 different speakers and is only one of many features that can be ordered. The 2016 A4 can be equipped with the same 12.3-inch virtual cockpit as the TT and R8. This can turn into anything from a navigation screen to a set of racing dials.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
