The new Audi A4 represents another milestone in the history of the brand. Soon after its introduction in 1995, the A4 became Audi's best selling model range in North America and remains so today (34,460 sold in 2000 in the U.S. and 3,371 in Canada). True to the performance tastes of customers in this category, 87% of buyers select models equipped with the performance-enhancing quattro all-wheel drive and nearly half prefer manual transmissions.
The new A4 will be built in Ingolstadt, Germany, the same site of the current A4 assembly.
