Aina se audi tulee vaan jäljessä muista

Kannattaa ensin perehtyä asiaan. Onhan se tietenkin ranskan merkissä uutta... Hyvää illan jatkoa.

Konseptina hieno auto tuo pösö mutta käytännössä sitä ei voi pitää vertailukohteena.

Audiltakin löytyy liuta hienoja konsepteja mutta harvemmin ne päätyvät tuotantoon/kuluttajille varsinkaan sellaisina kuin ne on alunperin esitelty.

Hyvinä esimerkkinä vaikkapa R-Zero, Avus, Nuvolari, Pikes Peak, Le Mans Quattro

Automerkin menestys on jossain määrin verrannollinen sen keskustelupalstan provojen määrän kanssa.

Audin on kiitettävästi kirinyt Biimeriä tässä asiassa viime aikoina. Jatkakaa pojat vaan samaan malliin ja muistuttakaa meille Audisteille kuinka paljon rakastatte autojamme, kiitos. :)

Ei ainakaan minun elämää heilauta suuremmin. Nyt on Audi, seuraavaksi voi olla Lada tai mikä tahansa. Voi se olla Alfa Romeo tai Fiatti. Mitä sitä seuraamaan kaiken maailman kotkotuksia. Kun on aika ostaa auto niin kauppaan kipin kapin ja valinta ulkonäön perusteella. Just do it!

Ei kai Audia pidäkään verrata tuollaisiin luxusautoihin vaan sellaisiin mikä se on eli tavallisiin arkiautoihin.

Audi voitti ensimmäisenä nelivetoisena ralliautona mmailmanmestaruuden. Ensimmäisenä autona LeMansin dieselautolla. Ja noiden kahden väliin mahtuu lukematon määrä voittoja eri luokissa.

Lexuksesta ei ole jäänyt muuta mieleen kuin, että sen maasturiversio hävisi vetokyvyssä jopa pikkuiselle Suzukillekin. Ei voisi vähemmän kiinnostava "luksusauto" olla kuin Lexus. Ajetaankohan jossain Lexus-cuppia niin Lexuskin voisi voittaa?

Siviilipuolelta Audista hiukan:


A3:


"...the A3 drives like a TT with a back seat and a trunk, which is to say — way fun."

—Motor Trend, November 2004

"The A3 offers essentially the same utility as a small SUV, with a lot more driving satisfaction and, presumably, better mileage."

—AutoWeek, August 2004

"It's sporty, beautifully appointed, and its technology and build quality reflect the best efforts of Audi's studios and labs."

—European Car, November 2004

"The powerband is a wide one, the throttle sweetly tuned for quick tip-in, and the torque curve's as flat as can be expected from a turbo... the turbo four sounds and feels as silky as a six-cylinder."

—TheCarConnection.com, August 2004

"All in all, the A3 is a highly likable ride — high class, high content, and high quality."

—AUTOMOBILE Magazine, October 2004

— Motor Sports Center.com, December 2004

"If you're looking for a stylish, luxurious and fun-to-drive drop top, the A4 [Cabriolet] has few equals."

S4:


"The car is a rocket ship with crisp handling...great brakes and an excellent interior."

— AutoWeek, May 2005

“The S4 has the advantage of quattro all-wheel drive. In combination with Audi's whiz-bang electronics, the four-wheel grip delivers maximum steering stability...."

In their follow-up S4 test, Edmunds.com stated, "Every adjective you can think of seems like an understatement. Impressive, powerful, fast, quick — all of those words are accurate but none seems to capture the true essence of this car."

"...performs beautifully on the highway, and it's very, very tempting to push the vehicle to its limits since the gears shift so smoothly."

— Upscale Magazine, March 2005

The S4 has the advantage of quattro all-wheel drive. In combination with Audi's whiz-bang electronics, the four-wheel grip delivers maximum steering stability...."

— New York Times, January 2005


RS4:


AUTOMOBILE Magazine found the Audi RS 4's V8 engine to be "ultraresponsive and addictively light-footed in the way it summons more power and whips up more torque."

Motor Trend claims that "the RS 4 delivers abundant helpings of performance in all categories."

Travel Leisure Golf welcomes the Audi RS 4's North American release: "With the American release—finally!—of the RS 4, which has long prowled the autobahn, we get the most powerful version yet of the A4 sedan."

"...ferocious by design...the instant you hit the pedal, you are off on a rampage." - Robb Report, October 2005

"Audi has pretty much dropped the hammer on its competition with the RS 4. Nothing else in the class can touch its spec sheet and we doubt that it will disappoint behind the wheel." - Edmunds.com, March 2005

A6:


"...a very lavish lifestyle for your luxury car dollars."

—MotorWeek Drivers' Choice 2005: Best Luxury Sedan

"The all-new A6 circles the luxury bases – beauty, performance, character, craftsmanship – better than anything in its class."

—Money Best Car Values 2005: Best Luxury Car

"Everything Audi has done to raise the bar in interior design continues with this vehicle. Note to competition: Here's your target. Good luck hitting it."

—AutoWeek, 2004

"...this car is incredibly confidence-inspiring because it... does a remarkable job of pairing stability and agility. Pushing hard - even very hard - involves neither drama nor squealing tires nor emphatic protests from the suspension."

—Automobile Magazine, June 2004

"We spent enough miles behind the wheel of each A6 model to know that both models gave us a competent, quick rush of power with smooth acceleration."

—Edmunds.com, 2004

"Audi excels at design. Its interiors are the best in the auto business... and its exteriors are sharp and purposeful. The new A6 may have a more aggressive grille, but the car is dignified and well-proportioned..."

—Forbes.com, 2004

Audi is among the sportiest of the luxury brands and the all-new 2005 Audi A6 kicks it up a notch with its dynamic excellence and exceptional comfort."

—autoweb.lycos.com, 2004

"The Audi A6 delivers a premium experience, and it marks you as a driver who appreciates both great design and great driving."

—AUTOMOBILE Magazine, May 2005

When you cannot hear the world outside pass by," writes the reviewer from AutoWeek, "it is a quiet reminder that you are in a car of substance."

Motor Trend states, "For 2005, the A6 has been redesigned inside and out, is larger in every dimension, and contains stunning technology... it'll give its rivals something to think about."

After test driving the 2005 A6, AUTOMOBILE Magazine had this to say: "Compared with its direct rivals, the Audi's packaging is up there, it musters the most powerful six-cylinder engine in its class, and the six-speed manu-matic transmission and Quattro drivetrain add to the appeal."

In a test of 8 premium luxury sedans, AUTOMOBILE Magazine chose the Audi A6 as the winner: "...there's no reason to settle for less than the best."
