B8 vs B9 Suspension
Well.. my 2011 is in great shape... I had the lower ball joints replaced(creeking) and the steering feels like new (65K miles). I see the new B9 has a different suspension based on McPherson Struts. For the mechanics and purists out there which is better performing? McPhearon based seem like older and more run if the mill technology...

2017 Audi A4 First Drive Review - Motor Trend
Some quotes:
The second major A4 improvement is an apparent lack of typical Audi-style understeer.
If you take a quick glance at the componentry, you’ll plainly see the front end is made up of a good old multilink type suspension, just like the last A4. But Audi added a fifth link jointed from the steering knuckle and connected back to the subframe behind the front wheel.
