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? -- Bhtooefr 17:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
"At the time, besides Audi, the
Ferrari F355 was the only production automobile in the world with a five-valve head design."
Deleted this line; both
Mitsubishi (
Minica, 1990-1997)
[1] and
Toyota (
Corolla GT, 1991-1998)
[2] had 5-valve cars available in Japan at this time. --

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)
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)
The car is sold in America so it should be described as other vehicles sold in America are. Otherwise we would have many confusing names in many different languages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.201.180.136 ( talk) 14:50, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
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)
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)
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)
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)
In this article the newest generation comes first. In most other car articles the oldest comes first. It would be a major change, but we might want to have the oldest come first 67.171.172.44 ( talk) 18:41, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Considering most readers would want information on the current car (right?) why make them dig through the history of the model? This would not be possible in printed media. but with electronic, you can always ensure the most requested information is always at the top. Lexlex ( talk) 17:52, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

The lead image - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2001_Audi_A4.jpg - which keeps being reverted to is very inappropriate - for three reasons:
The WP Automobiles project page clearly states that articles, including images should have a 'core' emphasis on their original "home markets". 78.32.143.113 ( talk) 08:33, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
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)
OK, now re-added the 180PS engine to reflect the global english-speaking markets. But rather than indicating where a specific variant is not available (because you could have a list as long as your arm), I think it is better to just state the markets where they are available. Hope this meets everyones agreement! Regarding the 'Slovenian' comment - well if any engine is available to only one (or a limited number) of non-english speaking regions/countries, then their own languge version of the Wikipedia article should reflect that. 78.32.143.113 ( talk) 09:44, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
In the Talk:Audi_A4#images section, you insist that the focus should be on the "home market", but in this section, you insist that it should be on English-speaking markets. What does "home market" mean, anyway? Germany? Europe? Whatever supports your current position? This is an encyclopedia, not a pissing contest. DES ( talk) 12:45, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
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)

I noticed incorrect data on top speed of diesel versions - DI 75 reached 172 km/h, TDI 90 reached 183 km/h, more than it is written here. This should be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.165.159.179 ( talk) 18:58, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

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)
It's not a rule, but recommended that you only compare rear-wheel-drive cars with rear-wheel-drive cars, and front-wheel-drive cars with front-wheel-drive cars. 119.252.27.68 ( talk) 17:37, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

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. What does everyone else think? TKOIII ( talk) 03:53, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
