Audi A4

Disclaimer: I seem to be predisposed to liking Audis. I’ve never owned an Audi, no one close to me has ever owned one and I’ve only had the pleasure of test driving a couple of them in my lifetime. Nonetheless, I’ve always loved them. In high school, one of my friends dated a boy who drove an Audi.

The age-old battle of man versus machine will move to a new arena in 2010 when Audi will begin pitting an autonomous TTS Coupe quattro against record times of some of the great driving challenges, including a likely attempt at the infamous 12.42-mile Pikes Peak Hill Climb in Colorado, USA.

2010 Audi S4 - click above for high res image gallery Among the big 3 German premium carmakers, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz each has its own in-house department dedicated solely to creating faster, better handling versions of their parent's mainstream cars. Of course none of those three automakers would actually want their everyday products referred to as mainstream since that would neutralize the cache that allows them to charge a premium...  

EuropeanOfficeFilter: Is there such a thing as a 3-ring A4-sized binder? How about a hole-puncher that works with A4 paper? American 3-ring binders are infinitely superior to the silly 2-Ring "PageRipper" Binders or the 4-Ring "CantTurnPages" Binders that are normal out here. Anyone know of a 3-ring binder that fits A4 paper? (Most American binders, the paper is taller than the binder) Bonus points for finding a 3-hole puncher that has...

After that I plan to move back to the LA area, but on the west side. I’ve decided that space is something I don’t need, but nature is an...

Update: The maddening Audi key We have complained about how difficult it is to release the ignition key in our Audi A4 and Q5 full track reports, as well as in the Cars blog. (See “Pet Peeve: Audi Q5 – The maddening key.”) The stubborn key can be quite infuriating because it usually happens when you’ve just arrived somewhere and you’re running late. Perhaps in Germany no one is ever late...  

Whenever a brand-new model comes out, I usually post a long-form review -- you know, the big one with First Glance, In the Driver's Seat, etc. But in the case of the 2010 Audi A5 Cabriolet, the truth is that I don't have a whole heck of a lot to say. Or maybe I do have a lot to say, but it doesn't take a whole lot of space to say it. Check out what few words I've devoted to Audi's new convertible in my 2010 Audi A5 Cabriolet test drive. And...  

Diesel has done it again!  For the second year in a row, a clean-diesel vehicle won the Green Car of the Year award from the Green Car Journal and its panel of judges.  The 2010 Audi A3 TDI is the recipient this year, with its 42 mpg highway, sumptuous style and an exhilarating, queen-of-the-road feel. This recognition could help clean-diesel technology gain traction in the U.S.; the Volkswagen Jetta TDI won the award last year.  The amount...
