I have searched far and wide for this information, including a talk with an Audi salesman. Help!

Simply put, B8 is the short form name for the platform (& version) the car is built on. All A4/S4/RS4 & A5/S5/RS5 cars are currently built on the B8 platform which started in the 2009 model year.
Somewhere around the 2013 model year, they rolled out a facelift, where the front and back lights and bumper got a little bit of an update and few other things -- but it was the same car -- so it's affectionately called a B8.5.
The previous A4 was a B7, and before that, a B6, and so on, and you can expect the next A4/A5 to be a B9 when it comes out.

Look through the Forums > Audi Models discussion forums to learn more. For A4's you'll see all the previous B platforms, A6's you'll see all the previous C platforms, and under A8's you'll see the D platforms.
