"Little Luxuries"
by Edward Loh, Motor Trend, July
2009
"The real secret is Audi's Drive Select system, which provides four distinct and delectable driving modes-auto, dynamic, comfort, and individual (user customizable)."
"Its dynamic mode not only serves up quicker gear shifts and snappier throttle response, it tightens the Audi's steering and shock dampening."
"Even when left in auto or set to the softest comfort setting, the Q5 still manages to humble the other three on S-22"
"Off-road, the Q5 feels right at home. The structure is solid and secure as the rig climbs through the rough stuff, quattro adeptly metering out toque,"
"Some cars simply feel good; almost indescribably good. You can't wait to get behind the wheel. Detours become more the rule than the exception. Every extra mile in the driver's seat is like slowly and deliciously consuming a bar of rich chocolate after being on a six-month no-sweets diet. That's the way it is with the all-new-for-2009 Audi A4. This is a sedan that's a delight to drive in any guise and a pleasure to look at." - Times Record News

Audi A4 and Q5: five stars even in stricter Euro NCAP crash test ? Top ratings for Audi Q5 and Audi A4 in US crash tests as well ? Impressive and innovative passive safety and driver assistance systems.
Need an example of excellence in a mid-sized luxury sedan? Look no further than the Audi A6. And in particular, look at the 2009 Audi A6 3.0T quattro.
The 3.0T quattro is a new addition to the A6 sedan lineup this year, fitting between the front-wheel drive 3.2 FSI and the V8-powered 4.2 FSI quattro models, "quattro" being Audi's performance-oriented full-time all-wheel drive system. The numeric designator denotes the engine capacity in liters, and why would a 3.0 be above a 3.2?
Notice that "T" after... which has meant "turbo", for Audi performance enhancement since the original Quattro rally car homologation special of the early 1980s. The smaller A3 and A4 have 2.0T models with 200-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged and intercooled four-cylinder engines, so one might be thinking "misprint" when reading 3.0T. After all, a decade ago, the A6 used a 2.8-liter V6 with essentially the same horsepower as the current 2.0T.
CONCLUSIONS: Audi has another gem in the A6 3.0T
