Booster Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I have been informed today that production of the B7 A4 will stop at the end of August. The B8 production will start in early October. Earlier than we thought! The source of the info is pretty good but can anyone that works for Audi confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Does that mean the end of the RS4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4_sat Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Probably in Saloon guise. The avant and cab should run a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Does that mean the end of the RS4? [/ QUOTE ] I think the RS4 finishes at a different time as its made at another plant. It will stop soon though when the RS6 production starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark_90 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I thought RS4 cab production had ended anyway, I thought it was a limited run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love_iTT Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 So what does the B8 look like then? If the B7 is stopping that soon then there must be something to take it's place very shortly and don't tell me it's the A5 variants surely. Any pics of the B8 floating around anywhere?

gizze Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Me too, I was told that first customer cars would be here for Novemer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlot Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Excellent. I can feel a B8 3.0tdi Avant coming in a year or so's time to replace my B6 S4 Avant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Ditto to replace my A3 SB 2.0TDi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 odd there are no pics etc? There were a fair few knocking about the B7 before it was unveiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Well the B7 was just the B6 facelift so was well flagged. Also remember that the A5 was kept pretty tight for a long while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love_iTT Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Sorry fellas but I'm totaly confused. I was under the impression that the A5 (B8) was a model bought out to sit between the current A4 and A6 and was not the revised A4. From what I'm reading here then that is not the case - the A5 is the A4 replacement - or have I got this all wrong? I need enlightening please.

IanHo Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 The A5 Coupe is a brand new model. The new A4 B8 shares the same chassis as the A5 as I understand it. The B8 is the variant of the model ie the B6 was the previous A4 before the facelift to the B7. I don't know what the model designation of the A5 is but no doubt someone on here does.

Waylander Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 aha. Well I think the A5 looks stunning. Was getting ithcy feet with my car but I think I will sit tight for a few more months now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maersk Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Just have to hope it does not look like the A5 Hyundai Coupe Mark 1. The curves do not sit well with the straight lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avus_Bub Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I've liked the last Hyundai Coupe shape. TBH the new ones a fine looking car too......... You can do a lot worse with 18 grand these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maersk Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Yep, Mark two is a passing fair miniturised copy of a Ferrari 456. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
