Default Tail Hitch for my sedan

I know, to even bring this up i'll get flammed left and right...but i'm thinking about getting one. just wondering if any company offers it? Anyone have one? I think towing something this small is fair game.

I dont like trucks and dont have a suv and have a sport quad with a small trailer that i would like to some times take out when my buddy (who has a truck and normally towes the trailer) doesn't have time. Just a thought. Thanks

Hmmmm....are you planing on towing like a ride on lawn mower or a motorcycle?

i got a sport quad a couple weeks ago and i just wana be able to move it around if i need to without keeping it stored at my buddies place. I called up my local dealer and audi doesn't have anything. I found out that uhaul has one but i'm just worried about the install and weather or not i have to drill etc etc. Been trying to get answer but i've yet to get ahold of anyone from uhaul.

I would weld or bolt on a bar to the 2 tow loops in the back then attach the tow hitch to that. Those tow loops have great support so just adding a bar should be significant.

wait! Go on gocpt.com it is the shop that I all audiclub guys in chicago. The owner, Al, custom built a trailer hitch for an RS4. When you go on the site, click on the gallery and you'll see the photos. Give him a call, great service, no bullsh*t

Wow, I was expecting the tow hitch to look horrid. That one on the RS4 looks like it would be barely noticeable. If I were to ever hitch my A4(which I would certainly never do) I would hope it was that well concealed.
