Default Why do you "...want to be sold on the A4."?

Think about what you're saying. You WANT to be sold on the higher priced car. If you're already sold on the VW, I don't see what the problem is. Unless name brand is very important for you. But if that were the case, you'd most likely be looking at BMW's.

Default The difference? Go drive both back to back. If you can't tell, then you only drive at 5/10ths and

should get the Passat.

Anyone who drives with one ounce of enthusiasm will be able to tell that they're worlds apart.

Default Confusion on 4Motion - Passat uses Torsen...

4Motion and Quattro are both trademark names, not technology names. VW/Audi's with longitudinal engines use Torsen. Those with transverse engines use Haldex.

Don't believe me? Check out VW's website - go to the 4Motion tech section.<ul><li><a href="http://www.vw.com/4motion/index.htm?car=passat">http://www.vw.com/4motion/index.htm?car=passat</a</li></ul>

I agree with JoeO, buy what YOU like not what you are "sold"on.
