Liked I said on AW more than 8 months ago and nobody believed me.

The new A4, whether a "Face Lift" B6 or perhaps a new B7 will be introduced late this year and will be at the Paris car show. Not only will it receive major body changes but will also use to new motors. The suspension as also been revised and the motor pushed back 4 cm in the chassis for better weight distribution (finally). I still say it will make it here on our shore in the first trimestre of 2005, sometime in March 2005. That is the major reason why I switched from my 2002 to my 2004.5. Follow the link.

Can't wait until the final/real Audi press photos are released.

I for one, am excited about the new engines. They should of course go with something a bit more aggressive though, IMO.

**CyberPMG** · 08-06-2004 01:23 PM

I've been sayin' the same thing too. With all the changes listed, how can it not be the new B7 platform? Every exterior panel except the roof is changing. New engines and transmissions used. New suspension. New interior. It all adds up. We'll see it unveiled next month in Paris. It should start showing up around February/March timeframe to be out ahead of BMW.

**dukez** · 08-06-2004 01:32 PM

**hyperspeed** · 08-06-2004 01:35 PM

well in that article they said that Audi pushed the intro 12 mos ahead of schedule to usurp BMW so I guess it will truly be the B7. I'm excited to see what Audi has to bring to the playing field.

**yoogene83** · 08-06-2004 01:37 PM

compared to the B5 it was

**bbaudi382** · 08-06-2004 01:43 PM

that sucks man. i prefer audi to suck at sales and be slow so less people will have them. i would be kinda ticked if i started to see audis everywhere...thats why i bought one in the first place

***Anthony*** · 08-06-2004 01:44 PM

On an even lighter note...

Usually the RS version is released during the last production year of a particular platform. So you know what that means...

**hyperspeed** · 08-06-2004 01:44 PM

well then u shouldnt drive around here. theyre like civics here dude. dime a dozen

**bbaudi382** · 08-06-2004 01:45 PM

not as bad as bmws.

if i ever see more audis than bmws, i will cry and sell my car.

**dukez** · 08-06-2004 01:45 PM

Should have bought a Porche.

**Jet Jockey** · 08-06-2004 02:07 PM

Dude, start by spelling it correctly, it's Porsche.

**bbaudi382** · 08-06-2004 02:08 PM

even the cheapest porsche is more expensive than my 28k audi

**Imperial** · 08-06-2004 02:17 PM

OOOOOOOOH, new A4! Exciiiiiiting! I really can't wait to see it. Not only that, but I can't wait to see what battle it will do with the upcoming Bangled 3-series. I just hope the new super-grille isn't TOO much....

btw, when IS the Paris Motor Show?

**foofighter** · 08-06-2004 02:19 PM

**Imperial** · 08-06-2004 02:22 PM
