B9
Hey guys new here and needed your help...
When is the new B9 model expected. I am planning to get a new car and am considering the A4 as one of my top options... but dont want to buy it if the new version is expected within 24 months.

The B9 is a ways off since the B8 isn't that old. A facelift is due shortly, and that should carry the B8 for another 2-3 years. A very easy way to guesstimate a model year's life is to see when the car's first year was and then add about 5-6 years to that.

Yes .. so keeping 2008 in mind i figured 2013 should be 5 years. Also didn't the A4 get a facelift (LED lights) in 2010...

Learned from an inside source at Audi.
What is a #4FACT?
When we review our note pads following press events, we hear at Fourtitude have found that there are a lot of cool facts that often get buried in a story we've written or may not get past the note pad with the exception of a Cliff Clavenesque little known fact mentioned by a staffer (probably me) over a Mocha Grande at a Cars & Coffee event or the like.
Given it'd be a shame to lose this information and given how perfectly these short bits of data especially pair with Facebook and Twitter, we've decided to add the quick #4FACT to our news blog repertoire. Don't expect long-drawn out write ups under these headings... just a sentence or two and just the facts.

As for the A4 – Audi's highest-volume model – TDI power is still in the cards for U.S. consumption. Instead of offering a diesel engine in the current model, Audi will be waiting until the next-generation car arrives. The all-new A4 is expected to launch in 2015, or possibly even 2014."
I guess time will tell...
