I think this is a good bet as to how Audi's A4 Coupe will look:   http://www.audiworld.com/news/03/geneva/   Click on the Audi Nuvolari quattro.   M
#51 of 229 the next Audi Coupe by philly2002 Mar 15, 2003 (8:23 am)
I'm not sure if the above link will indicate the future of the Audi coupe. The beautiful coupe shown is a marvel in the automotive industry. The car will be very expensive to boot. Audi would have to tweak the idea considerably for it to be effective in the 2+2 GT market.   The Nuvolari concept looks as if it would compete with the Aston Martin's and the MB SLR!!!

Here are some pics of my new Audi A4 Cabriolet 2.5 TDI. (163 hp, 310 Nm Torque, top-speed 142 mph).   Are there any other US-Audi-Cab-Drivers? Would like to hear some opinions.   http://hometown.aol.de/Steher8083/homepage/cabrio+klein2.jpg   http://hometown.aol.de/Steher8083/Cabrio+Heck.jpg   http://hometown.aol.de/Steher8083/Cabrio+Innen.jpg

Tanks. The color is called Anis-yellow.

The styling seems to go right along with the convertible. What does everyone think about it?
#56 of 229 A4 Remote top operation by ark67 Jun 18, 2003 (6:59 pm)
The dealer here in Atlanta tells me that the keyless entry remote can be programmed to operate the top, but that they can't do it for policy reasons. He indicated that the owners section of the Audi website provided instructions. I am curious about this feature. Has anybody done this?

My wife and I went looking for a replacement for our 2001 330, and I went in with high hopes that the A4 cabrio would be a compelling alternative. My wife's been dying for a convertible ever since we bought my 2002 M3 cabrio, so off to the dealership we went.   I was really disappointed in the A4. For a 3.0 liter engine putting out 220 bhp, the car just sagged around like it was wading through knee-deep water. Clearly, they put too much weight on the car and it showed.   The CVT was neat, but failed to provide a satisfying experience even for an automatic tranny (my wife wants an automatic slushbox, even though I've been begging her not to give in to the Dark Side... five simple words, dear: six speed short throw manual).   On the bright side, the leather was nice, on par with my M3's nappa and the car seemed to be very well-behaved, if that's what you're looking for. My main complaint is that it lacked any sense of urgency or snap. It's not fair to compare anything less than an S4 to an M3, but my feeling was that the A4 cabrio is sedate even compared to a 325 cabrio much less the 330. Overall, I came away underwhelmed by the experience.   The final straw was the price. Fully equipped, it was comparably priced to a 330ci cabrio. For a large discount, I think we would have considered the Audi, but at those pricing levels it was a no-brainer. No offense, but the Audi is not a BMW, and asking the same for an A4 as a 330 seems ludicrous to me.   On the other hand, I came away thinking that the Audi probably makes more sense if you're looking for a sedate, well-mannered cruiser at a discount to a Mercedes cabrio. I think the CLKs are marvellous cars: pretty, elegant, well-mannered and superbly predictable luxury convertibles. On that comparison, I think you could come away with a favorable price/value basis and say the A4 cabrio has a better value proposition. Unfortunately, it's just not a compelling driver's car.
#58 of 229 i think by justin Jun 23, 2003 (11:26 am)
the A4 convertible is a great addition to the import mid-priced droptop mix. right now you have a 3 series convertible or the aging Volvo or the Saab 9-3 in the same REAL price range - thats it.   if you want a 6 cylinder - it is the Audi or the BMW. and some people won't consider BMW for image reasons and lack of AWD/FWD. the Audi is the only game in town for some folks.   i personally think other car companies should be REQUIRED to copy the Audi interior schemes....
