The new A4 has Torsen awd with 60/40 red bias. They also have an ultra version with the smallest engine (1.4l or so). What's the biggest bummer is they released a manual but it only has the ultra system. I'm cross shopping the A4, S3, S4, F80, XE (want to wait for their inline 6 tho), C43. S3 is on up there on my list but I'm concerned about the fwd feel. Jury's out on the latest haldex iteration. I could maybe live with an A4 for the killer interior and its not-too-shabby 0-60 of 5.2 along with the frugality of it.
