TheCarConnection.com's been down with the iPhone from Day One--the joy of waiting in July heat in Atlanta for one exceeded only by the arrival of the TCC iPhone app . (Let's not talk about the 3G/MobileMe debacle .) Now Audi's horning in on our action with the Audi A4 Challenge app, available free from the iTunes store. Essentially a driving game with the four-ring logo plastered about, the Audi...

Long before it hits U.S. shores, the 2009 Audi A6 is being shown off at this month's Moscow auto show--and later this fall at the Paris auto show . Audi released photos and details of the updated A6 this week, describing its more efficient engines, improved suspension tuning, and upgraded Multi-Media Interface (MMI) controller. The obvious changes come up front, where Audi's single-frame grille...

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has spoken--and it's giving its Top Safety Pick label to the Audi Q7 .

Audi continues its product assault with this hot S4 Avant addition to the new A4 lineup. Audi is arguably the best at creating svelte, yet aggressive sport wagons that match its sedan counterparts in machismo, and this latest S4 Avant is no exception. The word is Audi's new S4 range will get a new twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 rated at 333 horsepower, coupled to a seven-speed version of the S-tronic...

Chevrolet gave us the first peep at the 2010 Camaro Convertible . It's admittedly low-resolution, but hey--they need to have something to wake us up at the Detroit Auto Show after the inevitable Volt dog-and-pony show. It's Father's Day--if your dad's still around, make sure he gets into these eight cars while he's still able. He might even put you in the will if you can arrange number two. In...

OK, full disclosure: I am in love with the new Audi A4 . And I am quite frustrated that once again, the German maker has decided to delay a hot new product's U.S. launch for a year while European motorists get first crack. The redone A4, the all-new A5, the striking R8--there are plenty of reasons to be paying close attention to Audi , and that's exactly what's happening in much of the world. The...

Audi's shown us a Clubsport concept spun off the TT, but now it's time for the A3 to get some love--the diesel A3, that is. This Audi A3 TDI Clubsport quattro concept starts with the 2.0-liter turbodiesel that's heading for U.S. customers in various Volkswagen and Audi models. In this form, it makes 224 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, shooting the A3 to 60 mph in less than 6.6 seconds on...

It's a Fiesta ! We liked the Verve name, but give Ford credit for warming up to the caliente crowd. Now if only they'd suck up my cultural clique--how about the " Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkey ?" While we're going over Anglicized versions of foreign words that became car names, Audi's Avant actually came after the sedan in Europe. But it's arriving simultaneously with the four-door later this...

If you’re willing to spend just a little more $30,000 on a luxurious sport sedan, you have a lot of options — the Audi A4 , BMW 328, Infiniti G35, Lexus IS, Mercedes-Benz C300, Saab 9-3 , Subaru Legacy GT Spec.B, Volvo S60 , and Acura’s own TL are just a few. And there’s the TSX, which is often overlooked despite a lot of accolades over the years and generally very...
