I am also mildly interested the A4... it seems to be improving in many ways, *but* (I'm comparing wagons only) looking at the numbers:
9-5 is way bigger than A4 (apples to oranges)! with all the seats up (on paper anyway), a 9-5 has *double* the hauling capacity of the 2009 A4! back seat down, 9-5 has 45% more volume as well. 9-5 also outhauls the A6 (yes, I compare Saabs like pickup trucks, and ours has hauled more lumber than most pickup trucks as well)...
The A4 is more comparable to 9-3, but still has much less hauling capacity seats up or down (the 9-3 is probably too similar to the 9-5)... I'm guessing the A4 has a little more rear legroom than 9-3.
In spite of not being able to haul as much as a 9-3, the A4 is heavier than a 9-5!
A4 list price is more than 9-5 (and way over 9-3 list), and I'm guessing discounts aren't as good as for Saabs either right now... A6 costs a fortune!
A4 hp might be less, but torque's about the same as a 9-5! I bet it's a blast to drive! Looks nice too!
Really, we should be comparing A4 to 9-3 and A6 to 9-5... they are all nice cars... depends what suits you (and budget I suppose)... Audi is more up market price-wise and it shows in the interiors...
