Audi's large-car A8 series -- cast on a unitized aluminum structure, then fitted with sophisticated mechanical systems and extravagant luxuries -- comes in two lengths. A8L rides on a stretched wheelbase with generous legroom for riders in the rear quarters. A8 also appears with wheelbase pared slightly and five inches trimmed from the overall length. Read More »

Audi's A3 has been available in Europe since the 1990's but was only introduced to North America in May of 2005. Resembling parent company Volkswagen's Golf (only bigger and more refined), the A3 is a great medium between station wagon and sports sedan. Read More »

Audi's previous A6 was a real looker, but the all-new 2006 model is even better. A huge grille gives it a style like no other car on the road, and the overall look is both sophisticated and athletic -- exactly like the car itself. Every piece in the A6's cabin feels like it was fitted by an expert jeweler. High-quality materials and outstanding construction prove that Audi is still making some of the best car interiors in the world. Read More »

Like Audi's stylish A4 convertible, the high-performance S4 looks fantastic thanks to a carefully styled body and tasteful chrome trim. This is the kind of interior that's far too perfect to clutter. It's a masterpiece of design and construction, as it feels remarkably solid and looks like it was built by a master jeweler. Read More »

At a time when sedan styling exists only at extremes -- either far too bland or far too weird -- this Audi has a clean, elegant look that gets attention without being gaudy. Audi's interiors are the envy of the automotive world, and the A4 shows why. Even as Audi's most affordable model, it comes with a cabin that would look at home in cars at twice its price.

A big, bold grille on Audi's new A3 seems to exude the kind of confidence that comes when a car company knows it's created something great. The four-door hatchback is a true bargain at $25,000 considering its refinement and cutting-edge engineering are hard to find in some vehicles that cost twice as much. Many of the bits and pieces in the A3's cabin are the same ones found in much more expensive Audi models like the TT and A8. Materials and build quality are second to none at this price. Read More »

Audi has had a long, and somewhat checkered, history selling cars in the U.S. despite the beauty of their designs, wonderful sporty ride and handling, and magnificent interiors. It was in fact the predecessor of the new 2005 model, the 1995 Audi A4, that brought the company back from near extinction in the U.S. Read More »

In 2005 Audi produced a new version of the A6 mid-size sedan in a format patterned closely after A8 models. It also increased in size, measuring nearly five inches longer than the previous A6 with wheelbase stretched three inches and the width expanded by two. Theme for the shell of A6 is a fluidity of lines drawn in rectangular format but capped by an arching canopy over the cabin with low-slung windows and side pillars muted to create the impression of a sleek coupe. This year, Audi adds an Avant variation to A6. A6 Avant for 2006 resembles the A6 sedan but with a wagon-like tail attached to forge the big cargo bay.

Revamped A4 scores a face-lift aligning with grille patterns on A6 and A8. Two direct-injection engines go to A4, including a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder plant worth 200 hp and a 3.2-liter V6 at 255 hp. All A4 models also get Quattro AWD with six-speed transmissions - manual or automatic. Read More »
