Talk:Audi A4

message: It's linking to the Volkswagen B6 platform.
Last I checked, the VW B6 platform has a transverse engine, whereas the Audi B6 platform has a longitudal engine.
VWAG is confusing like that... but what should be done about this?
For now, I'm removing the link. However, should we cover both Audi AND VW B platforms? Or, should we split it into two articles, one for VW and one for Audi?

replies: text: Thanks. I was aware of the Corolla/Sprinter's use of the 5-valve engine at the time, but it completely slipped my mind when I wrote that. The confusion comes from the fact that the Audi A4 was the first standard production to feature five valves in Europe, and the Ferrari F355 was the only car available in the European market at the time with a 5-valve head (the Bugatti EB110 was not in production). --Pc13 07:52, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Seems like there's been a recent edit war on this issue. I have to say, I agree with the IPs who've been classifying it as a compact car; see the EPA ratings. If EuroNCAP calls it a "large family car" (which they do) then I think we should simply refer to that directly, rather than "transliterating" to an American description which isn't verifiable by the primary source. --DeLarge 07:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a European car, therefore we should use European descriptions. Squirrel 23:00, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Once again it's a "large family car". The term "compact" is not used in Europe when referring to cars. And once again it's a European car, so use the EuroNCAP description of it. Have changed it back now. Squirrel 08:52, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The A4 is a compact executive car, that means something like "a premium/luxurious large family car". The same term applies to the 3 Series, C-Class, X-Type, 159, 9-3, S60... Please check that article to verify that. -- NaBUru38 14:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Have anglicised the terms used for the body shapes, eg "saloon" rather than "sedan" and "estate" rather than "station wagon" - this is a European car, therefore the terminology should be European.
My B7 platform A4 is described as a "saloon" not a "sedan". Squirrel 22:58, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

message: What's this table about?  Are all those engines currently available?  Which are 4 cyl and which are 6 cyl?  What are the Saloon/Avant/Convertible columns for if they're empty?  This table needs work.  --Vossanova o< 16:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a lineup. What else could it be? Of course the engines are available, and whether they're 4 or 6 cylinders isn't as relevant as their displacement. And the columns aren't empty. They're filled out exactly as they should be. --Pc13 07:26, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sorry, I didn't see the check marks, I was browsing with images off.  Would be nice if the images had an alt="x" tag or similar, but it's not a big deal.  There's actually a table above this one that does have 4 vs 6 cyl, so I don't see why this can't have the same.  The confusing tag can probably come down soon. --Vossanova o< 16:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, it used to have "X"s when I made it. Somebody replaced them with tick mark images later. As for the cylinder columns on the other generations line-up, I only ever intended to do a current lineup table. --Pc13 19:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The B7 is essentially a B6 with a new front grille grafted on.  How can it be considered a new generation?  Almost all of the panels are carry-over.  The 2008 A4 is the first truly new A4 since the B6.Davez621 (talk) 15:42, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I came to this page because I was not sure what type of suspension the A4 had, but then discovered that the word "suspension" was not even contained in the page. Someone who knows whould fix this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.9.205.47 (talk) 02:32, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

message: How come the A4 is called "luxury" with a link to "Luxury car", which it isn't, at all. At best, it's "entry level luxury".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.194.227.173 (talk) 11:15, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I deleted the 180PS petrol engine because it is NOT available in the United Kingdom - THE largest market of English speaking countries for the Audi A4.  If the 180PS variant is available in Germany, then let that be reflected in the German wikipedia entry.  If/when a 180PS variant DOES become available in either the UK, the USA, Canada, or any other English speaking market, then we will re-add the 180PS engine - until then, engines which are NOT available should NOT be included in this article.  78.32.143.113 (talk) 15:44, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The 180PS/132kW variant is available (with multitronic) in Australia/New Zealand (English speaking markets). See: http://www.audi.co.nz/newcars/a4/a4/A4_Spec_MY09.pdf http://www.audi.com.au/etc/medialib/cms4imp/audi2/au/pdf.Par.0058.File.pdf Dusan (talk) 16:00, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

text: 2.0 TFSI, both the 132kW and 155kW variants (with manual or multitronic transmission) are being offered also in South Africa. http://www.audi.co.za/specs/?rid=a4 The audi.co.za web site is in English so I guess this is also an English speaking market (English is also an official language in South Africa) Dusan (talk) 16:10, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll take look in those PDFs when I have finished with the UK one, and if appropriate, I will reinsert the 180PS.  But I think we need to add another column to the table, with 'notes' to describe market differences.  Is this OK?  78.32.143.113 (talk) 16:13, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, IMHO, an article should list all engine options, but annotate those known to be not available in certain territories. Letdorf (talk) 16:19, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't see any reason why the engine list should reflect English-language markets only. The list should include all engine options, whether they are available in English speaking countries or not. Also, "not available in the UK" is not enough to differentiate from the rest of Europe. "Not available in the UK" is no different from "Not available in Slovenia" and there's no need to indicate that sort of difference. --Pc13 (talk) 17:32, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

text: No, that's now how we do stuff here. We list everything, whether it's available in English-speaking countries or only in others. Other car articles in the English Wikipedia have engine listings include models only available in Greece or only available in Sweden. How they do things in other language Wikipedias is up to them. --Pc13 (talk) 10:13, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: B8 engines

message: In the section on the B6 platform, the following statement is made: "The 1.8 L 20-valve Turbo was now available in two additional versions, with 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) or 180 PS (132 kW; 178 bhp), this one with a standard six-speed manual gearbox, while the naturally aspirated 1.8 L straight-4 and 2.8 L V6 were replaced by 2.0 L and all-aluminium alloy 3.0 L units..."  As the owner of a 2001 A4 Quattro Avant with a 2.8 Liter, normally aspirated V6 I am compelled to question the above statement. --Jfreas (talk) 16:55, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  B8 Top Speed info? 

message: Do NOT compare this with rear-wheel-drive cars. Comparing a FWD model with a RWD one is considered sockpuppetry, competition abuse, and insulting. A 328i or a C250 does not compare with an A4, either. Here are some of the competitors:
+ Volvo S60
+ Saab 9-3
+ Lexus ES 350
+ Acura TSX or TL, FWD models
+ Lincoln MKZ --174.141.208.118 (talk) 01:17, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

message: Has anyone discussed changing the way that the A4, S4 and RS4 articles are integrated together? Right now it seems they're only linked at the top, but given their close relation and the fact that the S4 and RS4 articles have vastly more detailed info than the main A4 article, I feel like a main article or see also tag either at the top of each generation section or above the specific info about the S4 or RS4 in each section would work much better.
