"Audi Ices a Mighty 3 by Shedding Price, and Even Power"
by Aaron Robinson, Car and Driver, November 2009

"The compact 3.0-liter engine, bolted longitudinally, its center point just forward of the front axle line, also has every ounce of the BMW's refinement, chasing its 7000-rpm redline with vibe-free gusto."

"We don't know which to applaud more, the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT tires or the active rear differential, which pushes one side or the other to aim the car. This active diff is so pronounced on a skidpad that it feels like four-wheel steering. Either way, the S4's grip path control is dazzling and convincingly outclasses the 335i."

"The Audi S4 is king..."

"Little Luxuries"
by Edward Loh, Motor Trend, July 2009

"The real secret is Audi's Drive Select system, which provides four distinct and delectable driving modes-auto, dynamic, comfort, and individual (user customizable)."

"Its dynamic mode not only serves up quicker gear shifts and snappier throttle response, it tightens the Audi's steering and shock dampening."

"Even when left in auto or set to the softest comfort setting, the Q5 still manages to humble the other three on S-22"

"Off-road, the Q5 feels right at home. The structure is solid and secure as the rig climbs through the rough stuff, quattro adeptly metering out toque,"

Audi A4 - all-new driving candy

"Some cars simply feel good; almost indescribably good. You can't wait to get behind the wheel. Detours become more the rule than the exception. Every extra mile in the driver's seat is like slowly and deliciously consuming a bar of rich chocolate after being on a six-month no-sweets diet. That's the way it is with the all-new-for-2009 Audi A4. This is a sedan that's a delight to drive in any guise and a pleasure to look at." - Times Record News

Need an example of excellence in a mid-sized luxury sedan? Look no further than the Audi A6. And in particular, look at the 2009 Audi A6 3.0T quattro.

The 3.0T quattro is a new addition to the A6 sedan lineup this year, fitting between the front-wheel drive 3.2 FSI and the V8-powered 4.2 FSI quattro models, "quattro" being Audi's performance-oriented full-time all-wheel drive system. The numeric designator denotes the engine capacity in liters, and why would a 3.0 be above a 3.2?

Notice that "T" after... which has meant "turbo", for Audi performance enhancement since the original Quattro rally car homologation special of the early 1980s. The smaller A3 and A4 have 2.0T models with 200-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged and intercooled four-cylinder engines, so one might be thinking "misprint" when reading 3.0T. After all, a decade ago, the A6 used a 2.8-liter V6 with essentially the same horsepower as the current 2.0T.

CONCLUSIONS: Audi has another gem in the A6 3.0T
