Audi's updated the A4 line, bearing gifts for efficiency wonks if not for those hoping for freshened visuals. Sure, the headlights are a bit larger by a few millipedes and the hood's got a slightly more dramatic arch. Fine. But boy howdy, check out that Allroad. More »

Volkswagen said today it would recall nearly 170,000 diesel-powered Golfs, Jettas and Audi A3 to fix a fuel line that could leak. What makes it more interesting is just how hard VW had to work to find the defect. More »

The Chicago area Audi dealership that refused to help a customer who had his wheels stolen on their lot has finally heard the roar of thousands of Jalopnik readers and forum members. Now he's going to do right by him. More »

Jason Lee left his new Audi at a suburban Chicago dealership for service last weekend expecting to get his car fixed. Instead, his wheels were stolen. The dealership security cameras? Mysteriously not working. Now the dealership won't help. Update! More »

Autocar's printing filthy rumors saying VW's planning to foist an R4-platformed car onto Stuttgart as a Porsche 356. Sure, everybody likes the idea of a 356, but not when it's a bastardized, pudgy, nostalgia-riding, baby-boomer-targeted beige-mobile. More »

The bedlinered Audi A4's been updated. How can you improve on a maintenance-free coating? Paint, shiny silver paint. Oh, and by removing the awful bedlinered wheels too. More »

The owner of this Audi A4 coated the entire thing in spray-on bedliner after vandals covered the original paint in brake fluid and other chemicals. Forum fan boys at Fourtitude slammed him for the mods, but we think it's hot. More »

Audis are either finely crafted German luxury cars or glorified Volkswagens, depending on your opinion. This opossum, however, thought an A4 was a house and nested in the engine bay, scaring the hell out of a tech doing regular maintenance. More »

In case you didn't know it, your headlamps are aimed differently; the driver's side is positioned lower than the passenger side. No problem in the US, but when right-of-way lanes change in Europe, trouble. Audi's got a neat little fix. More »

The Audi RS4 may have an engine breathed upon by a heavenly force, a transmission which borders on perfection and acceleration that takes your breath away, but the thing it didn't have was a custom piece of art slathered all over its body. Artist Romero Britto, known for his neo-pop, pseudo-cubism style has dropped his work onto the four-door super-saloon and it's on sale at a Miami-area dealership. Calling it an 'improvement' over the original is completely subjective — we'd tend to disagree — but nobody will argue it's definitely a conversation starter. We're sure the dealer is hoping it's also a sales incentive. More »

Pricks drive BMW convertibles. Old people drive Mercedes sedans. Boring people drive Lexus crossovers. At least that's the message Audi wants you to hear with its new viral marketing effort, a web mini-series called "Meet the Beckers." The mini-series tells the tale of a dysfunctional affluent family. Although we've got to admit that often times the stereotypes portrayed in the advertisement show are dead-on and funny as hell, we're forgetting one stereotype. You know, that Audi drivers are self-righteous assholes who think they have the right to judge everyone else. Come to think of it, the viral vid appears to be totally spot on. [MeetTheBeckers] More »

If these images of an upcoming Seat sedan coming to the Paris Motor Show look eerily familiar, it's because you're already seen it before in its previous life as the last-generation Audi A4. Killed in favor of the all-new 2009 Audi A4, the corpse of the old 2008 A4 has been reanimated by Seat to live a second life as a blood-thirsty zombie the 2010 Seat Exeo. These official teasers show it lurking in the shadows, but as you can see from the second set of images below the teaser shots, we've already caught a better glimpse of it thanks to some leakage from the European trademark office the car was registered at.

The Audi A4 Challenge may sound like an exciting spec-racing series, alas, it's only a free iPhone game allowing you to tilt a 2009 A4 through virtual tracks using the iPhone's accelerometer. No screen shots yet, but the game should be available now online at the iPhone application store and in Audi dealerships next month. Unfortunately, there's no multiplayer mode, and you can't even race against any AI opponents. How boring. What would really get us excited is if they make an Audi R8 or Audi RS6 challenge. Press release after the jump. More »

Though we'll have to wait for the 2008 Paris Motor Show for a full reveal, bit-by-bit the specs are filtering out on the 2009 Audi S4 — or is it 2010 Audi S4 — we're still confused by Audi's lack-of-model-year naming scheme for product. We already knew it would get a supercharged (which could mean turbosupercharged, depending upon which report you read) 3.0-liter V6 backed by a 6-speed twin-clutch lovingly referred to as "S-Tronic." What's news is that traction control/AWD will be provided by the Quattro system as expected, and that the updated Audi will run the 0-to-62 (0-100 km/h) in under six seconds thanks to approximately 350 HP on tap.

When a driver walks away from a car looking like it's been turned inside out, you have to take comfort in driving the same car. I look at my own A4 with renewed respect after seeing this one, which was run over by a semi and managed to deliver it's driver from the valley of the shadow of death with some bruises and a cracked collar bone. Someone surviving the accident described below is nearly unbelievable, but then again, someone survived that bonkers RS6 accident, so stranger things have happened. More »

We could barely contain our excitement when we saw the first pictures of the 2009 A4 Avant, a fine wagon if there ever was one. Audi has now released details on the power lineup for the US market and, while diesels aren't in the picture yet, we will be getting an upgraded version of the 2.0 TFSI inline-four good for 211 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. That's enough juice to carry the entry-level A4 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. More »

After that teaser shot last night and the embargo breakage earlier today, we were wondering if there'd be anything left to show you on the Audi A4 once the embargo officially broke at 6:00 PM EST tonight. And it would seem our ponderings were accurate — although now we've got the high-res shots and the press release. So there's that. Photos are below and the full release is after the jump. Enjoy and feel free to talk amongst yourselves. More »
