Replying to: bmwccc (Jul 20, 2004 11:54 am) Body and chassis updates (longer wheelbase perhaps?) would be my guess and I would guess it might be as late as a 2007 MY, can't seem to get the same story twice. Just that in Feb or Mar of 2005 there will be a 2005.5 which will "look like" the A6 and will have many of the A6's electronics and the 3.2 FSI engine. . .sorry.   The S4 is a question too -- but the salesfolks at my Audi store cannot imagine no S4, or at least not for long. There is still at this moment a 2005 S4 that can be ordered.

Replying to: mikeike12000 (Jul 20, 2004 1:46 pm) Mike, why didn't you wait for the new 2005.5 A4's to come out. They will available in Feb and have new body style and engines and all new interior? Replies to this message: mikeike12000 (Jul 20, 2004 5:30 pm)

Replying to: bmwccc (Jul 20, 2004 4:56 pm) I am more into the sporty image of Audi. I think the new direction they are going is the way the Passat wound up going. What I mean is the new A4 they are predicting sounds like a business sedan. Although the 200 hp sounds tempting, it's overkill with the 130 MPH speed limitation, and no chipping in this Audi owners future.

Replying to: mikeike12000 (Jul 20, 2004 1:46 pm) Mike: You are going to have so much fun let me tell you brother! Remember this, the car has so much to offer and for me it has been a learning experience. Several friends never, almost never, use tip tronic. I admit to staying in D or moving to S infrequently just starting out. But once you realize the variety of options you will smile secretly. Using tip to enter and exit freeways and shifting to the more fuel efficient D or using the tip in the twisties can be exilirating. You can see other drivers watching as you move onto the freeway. For me however, the quattro was essential. Nothing like it, not the Porsche, Corvette or G35 Coupe or TSX compare. You will love the "z" lights at night. I almost went dolphin gray but ended with silver, I still admire the dolphin.

Does anyone know if the 1.8T or 2.0T will have the option for Nav? The current A4 only has the 3.0 with the nav option. Thanks.

Replying to: cicero (Jul 20, 2004 7:48 pm) These cars beg to be mated with manual transmissions -- and, with the possible exception of the S4, they, er, um, "really suck" with the auto transmissions. Every time I am loaned a 3.0 A4 with a tip, I swear someone has removed at least one spark plug the thing is such a dog!   The 6 speed tip in the S4 can "get out of its own way" but then again you have the extra gear and the monster engine at your command.   The 1.8T, almost seems better suited to the tip, but driving one of these with even one passenger, makes you wish for an extra gerbil or two under the hood -- the stick transmission versions are totally transformed.

#37 of 1365 Navi by markcincinnati Jul 21, 2004 (12:13 pm)
First the A4 will have a full-screen DVD navi system for 2005.5 (February 2005 on. . .). I can get no answer that makes me warm and fuzzy about the navi -- although I assume THIS TIME they will offer it (there are plenty of price competitive models that have had full screen navis for more than a year or two now.   Wish I could give a real answer, but I would be shocked if it was only on the 3.2 and S4 (and RS 4?) versions for next year.   Uh, well, I've been shocked before. . .sorry to say.

Will there still be an Avant in S4 trim, Mark?   An S4 Avant DSG... yummmmm!   I took the Mrs. to our local Audi lot on Sunday to prime the pumps so to speak, and after perusing some 3.0 Avants, we took out an S4 Avant, and I made sure she drove it. Worked far better than even I had planned. I now have an unfettered green flag from my l'il CFO to do the lease when my current one is up!
#39 of 1365 Navigation and DVD by mikeike12000 Jul 21, 2004 (2:03 pm)
I understand that DVD and Navigation are the must have for the 21st century but come on. The Audi navigation is horrible, you look through your steering wheel at a screen that is what 4"-5"? The DVD in the sedan makes no sense to me what so ever. Not having kids I wouldn't know but I think it's more of an option that sounds good posting to boards like this. I personally would opt to pick up an aftermarket Nav from best buy or something with 6.5" -7" colored map display for about half the price. Then with the money I saved I would buy a portable DVD player that can sit on the dash for long drives. just my opinion
#40 of 1365 Mike by wale_bate1 Jul 21, 2004 (4:21 pm)
The new NAV units are decent-sized color screens. Check out the A8L shots on the website.   That's your next gen, I believe.
