Donno if anyone else is as excited as me, but here are the first official pics of the new facelifted A4. It is pretty much just facelifted w/ new engine options (like the 2.0t FSI 8) ), and same chasis. Its official the "B7" chasis and not the speculated "b6.5" but who cares. This is probably the car i will be getting come January when i get my liscense. I love the baby A8 look too cool! Besides engines and some minor interior changes, the car is said to weight quite a bit less.

and the bad arse S4! So far it's the same 4.2 engine w/ 344 bhp, and 421 nm torque but its still really cool. Only cosmetic changes i could note where Recaros, Quad-Exhaust (not too shabby) and blacked out bumper grilles. Perhaps we will see Audi/VW's DSG make it's way to the B7 platform though!
