When we arrived in Ibiza, Spain to drive the new Audi A4 Avant, we were a bit surprised to have six engine variations of the vehicle to drive…not surprised by the number of engine options but surprised by the fact that they did not have the variation that would be offered here in the US, [...]

With the help of John Matras from CarBuzzard.com, we got footage of the 2008 Audi R8 at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania. You may recognize the R8 as the Audi Le Mans Quattro concept car or the RSQ Concept (think I, Robot), but the R8 is not longer just a concept. The R8, which [...]

This third generation Audi A6 is still following in its family’s footsteps of success. Minor styling changes occured in the 2007 A6, but Audi knew what parts of the design heritage to keep (which turned out to be quite a bit). The A6 comes with a V6 that produces 255hp, a 6-speed automatic [...]

The second-generation A6 put Audi on the map, heralding the company’s arrival at the cutting edge of design. From 1997 to 2004, the A6 helped Audi establish a presence rivaling that of BMW and Mercedes in the driveways of affluent Americans, and yet another metallic-grey German midsize sedan was added to the “gotta-have-it” pantheon [...]

Audi bills its Q7 as “The SUV from the creator of Quattro,” referring to their patented (and legendary) all-wheel-drive system. The more we thought about this slogan, the more it makes sense. This car is less about being an SUV than it is about being an Audi. And that will be its [...]

The 2007 Audi Q7 falls into the luxury SUV category that includes the Porsche Cayenne and VW Touraeg. However, you can tell it is an Audi through and through by the trademark grille, heavy-lidded headlights, and tapered tail lights. You can get a Q7 like our tester for a little over $45,000 with [...]

The Latin word “audi” means “hark, listen.” Imagine the first Americans, who used to press ears to tundra to hear stampeding herds of Bison roaming the wide-open plains. Then imagine an automotive journalist in 2007, pressing ear to scorched pavement as a rip-snorting V8 powered supercar rumbles towards a wide open road. [...]

The 2006 Audi A3 S-Line is a wagon with sex appeal. With no competition in the field from other luxury contenders, the V6 AWD wagon fills the niche of luxury and practicality plus performance. The A3 S-Line is a bit shorter than other wagons but the passengers do not suffer (just the [...]

Inevitably, every time an Audi appears at our doorstep for a full review, certain scenes play out–as surely as death and taxes, and so similar they could be scripted. For example, being behind the wheel of a new Audi–be it an A-line or an S-line model; no matter what series–one is sure to hear, at [...]

Every brand has one–the staple seller; the for-the-masses car on which a corporation’s fortunes rest. Audi’s bread-and-butter line, the A4 comes in sedan, two-door convertible and wagon variants. Of course, with the falling value of the dollar eating profits and ever-encroaching competition from Japanese, German and even American luxury brands, the A4 is more [...]
