I went with Thule 415's and a 50" bar. If you buy Thule bars you can use Yakima and Thule gear. The reverse is not true. The 415's have been around for a long time and I think they are soon to be replaced with a new model. Greg

Thule - I like the strength of the rectangular bars.

Thule 751 Fast Fit - not as visually pleasing as stock, but stronger and more versital.

could be swapped to more vehicles. You may be able to hit E-bay at the right time. Check on-line prices first. I have thule components from 20 years ago that fit the new 415 feet and bars that I bought for my allroad. The same is probably true for yakima also. I looked for the factory type alluminum and couldn't find anything the was versatile enough and reasonable enough. I used this site but another was also posted priviously. another is http://www.orsracksdirect.com<ul><li><a href="http://www.outdoorsports.com/osc/crd/default.asp">http://www.outdoorsports.com/osc/crd/default.asp</a</li></ul>

I bought the Audi bars. They look alot like they are made by Thule and are Thule's latest gen of rack from the website although I could be wrong. The ski attachment is Thule as the only thing that it does not have is a Thule stamp on the bottons. I took a brief look at my fork mount Thule bike racks and believe that they will fit the Audi rack but have not tried it yet. I liked the look of the Aluminum match to the roof rails.
Had bad experiences with the original design Yakima round bars making noise at highway speeds and requiring a fairing. Would imagine that the new models don't suffer from this issue but didn't want to take the chance.

I have the same set-up with Thule, it is great! I use a Yakima ankle bitter bike rack and it adapted perfectly. Also the Thule farring looks great and eliminated noise too.
