that gumph you "typed" out looks like its straight out of an Audi brochure or press pack or out of your A-hole, so where's the in depth explaination you said you'd provide? I bet all those car manufacturers in that article are sh!tting themselves now with this all conquering new Quattro system!!

Everybody is copying Audi basically. First turbocharged 4wd saloon cars, then TDI, then Aluminium usage and so and so on.

rubbish did he type that out lol,thats is the language of marketing, not explanation to a forum lol...

everyone copies everyone else in this industry, AL why is it so hard to to grasp that for once you beloved audi has been left behind in the area of AWD technology and is just catching up with the likes of mitsubishi and nissan?

new system sounds, er great.. but is same as youd find on an evo thats half the price and feels alot more alive to drive ( and ive driven a good few evos, probly more than youve driven audis!!)

so why the fuss, itd be intersting perhaps if you could tell us exactly how it differs from the rest and is better, in engineering terms rather than marketing bump language, but you cant, so shut your cakehole sonny and trawl the 'net to find me something intersting to read :P

While Audi are "reportidly" developing state of the art AWD systems, i'm sure all the technical guru's at Nissan/Mitsubishi etc are now just sitting on their ****'s thinking " yeah thats our system sorted, no need for any more development we'll just sit round and wait for Fritz to catch up"
I'm sure if Audi bring out a system better than anyone else it won't be long before someone else betters it, or knowing the Japanese will just make it smaller!
As for Audi world dominance, well can you seriously see them cracking the U.S or JDM markets?
