2009 Audi A4 in Deutschland and Spain

Audi A4 is a model which is very popular in the USA, even more it makes half of Audi’s brand in the American market. That’s why the representation of a new a4 model is really a big event. That’s why a big group of American journalists were invited to toy with a new A4 model at first on the roads of its motherland in Deutschland and then to the Spanish resort island Ibiza.

Partially the new model gas already been represented t the public – its redesigned platform debuted last autumn as sedan form and at the Frankfurt Motor Show and wagon was shown last month in Geneva.

Usually European buyers of German vehicles have much wider choice of powertrain than American do. Taking into account considerable US dollar fall against the Euro to be able to sell their cars here at reasonable price Audi and other popular brands have to reduce costs. That’s why the process of option combinations simplifying is taking place currently in the world automotive industry.

That’s why in the USA sedans with either a 3.2L FSI V6 of a a 2.0L TFSI four-cylinder will be represented. A new fast-shifting ZF six-speed autobox will be used with all the models and with a shift-it-yourself six-speed with a third pedal only the front-wheel-drive 2.0L will be available. For those drivers who like to pretend they are Dindo Cappello paddle shifters will be added to automatics.
