First drive: 2012 Audi A4

First drive: 2012 Audi A4 There's nothing quite like a midlife face-lift. A nip here, a tuck there and suddenly you're back to being the talk of the town. It's a system that's worked wonders for celebs who refuse to raise the white flag against the merciless onslaught of age. Audi happily subscribe to the same school of thought and put their bestselling A4 under the knife. Sure, the car's lost its 'old' feel and...

2011 Audi A6 2.0TDI vs 2011 BMW 520D

2011 Audi A6 2.0TDI vs 2011 BMW 520D Gone are the days when one naturally assumed that owners of fancy cars don't have to bother about fuel expenses. In these dark times of the government having us by the marbles with their fuel prices it's just not acceptable for a car to be inefficient simply because it's expensive. Audi and BMW realize that tugging at the heart strings isn't enough anymore so here are two of their cars...
