Default because audi is concerned about competition

the problem is that with the new design they should be even more concerned. My $0.02.

Default I bought A4 because it is new release....

and I can own a car with new style for 5 or 6 years, not 3 years

If I've to choose again I will buy a 3 series instead

Default Very good question!

I sold Audi up until March of this year. I've been asking my old cronies in the know, the same question. I haven't heard anything that makes sense yet. Audi does typically keep there styles for at least five years. This is rather strange.

One thing though, '05 will be the fourth year for the B6 in the U.S. From what I've been reading, the B7 will be released in mid-'05 making the B6 a 3 1/2 year run.

Default They should have made some minor changes

and then introduced the FSI engines. That would have been the best of both worlds IMO.

But I have to admit - that grille is growing on me.

Default Huh? My interior doesn't look like this...

But the centre console position looks the same.
