sigh, even Beetles can be had with MP3 capability now, while Audi still doesn't offer it.

Sheesh. I just can't justify buying a new A4 when the stereo doesn't even compare to a $20K Beetle stereo.<ul><li><a href="http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/volkswagen_news/article_647.shtml">article over on vortex</a></li></ul>

Default Audi will be going through a lot of changes in the coming two years - I'm waiting for the

New facelift, Engines and Electronics.

There's rumors of a 5 cyl engine on the B6 forum,
from the VW Golf platform there's the 2.0 16v Turbo - Plus Audi has Len Hunt -

Needless to say it will be interesting to see what happens this and next year.

Default Audi no longer has Len Hunt, he was just promoted to head of VWoA.

Yea, I keep thinking that the A4 should be getting some more power soon.....I hope.

Default they have had it since at least last summer. It's called the "phatbox".

It's pretty cool. It's a hard drive that sits in your trunk or wherever you mount it. It utilizes the OEM factory radio for the controls and has a TON of space for all your MP3's. Check it out:
