We'll {have to|must|need to|should} {consult|seek the advice of} the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for a tiebreaker. Here {again|once more}, the A4 {and 3|and three} Series are evenly matched, with a single exception. The Audi earns a Poor {rating|ranking|score} {in the|within the} small-overlap frontal-{impact|affect|impression|influence} {test|check|take a look at}, {while|whereas} {the 3|the three} Series {gets|will get} a Marginal {rating|ranking|score} in {the same|the identical} {test|check|take a look at}. Therefore, the BMW {just|simply} barely nudges the Audi to get our nod for {safety|security}. Audi {technology|expertise|know-how} {supplies|provides} the 2014 A4 with {available|accessible|obtainable|out there} Google Earth 3-D navigation mapping (which employs {actual|precise} {satellite|satellite tv for pc} {images|photographs|photos|pictures}) and {the ability|the flexibility|the power} {to transform|to remodel|to rework} the {car|automobile|automotive} {into a|right into a} {mobile|cell|cellular} Wi-Fi {hot|scorching|sizzling} spot. We're {big|huge|large|massive} {fans|followers} of the Bang & Olufsen audio {components|elements|parts}, and the A4 {offers|affords|gives|presents|provides} {both|each} an adaptive cruise-{control|management} system with {stop|cease}-and-go {capability|functionality} and a {forward|ahead}-collision warning system. {On the other hand|Alternatively|However|Then again}, BMW {offers|affords|gives|presents|provides} full speech-recognition {capability|functionality} for composing {text|textual content} messages and emails by voice {while|whereas} driving, {supplies|provides} Facebook and Twitter {access|entry} {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} its BMW Apps system, and {offers|affords|gives|presents|provides} {global|international|world} Internet radio {access|entry} {along with|together with} BMW Online {services|companies|providers}.
Some minor reservations, {though|although}: "the free encyclopedia" font {seems|appears} a bit messy. The apples {might|may|would possibly} {help|assist} a bit, {but|however} {something|one thing} else up there {might be|could be|is likely to be|is perhaps|may be} {better|higher}. Other {ideas|concepts|ideas}: {book|e book|e-book|ebook|guide} spine; {old-fashioned|old school|old style} key; a rocket; the {outline|define} of a forest, {city|metropolis}, or {college|faculty|school} campus skyline; a quill; a stylized {web|internet|net}. I get associations to fruit-flavored chewing gum. Comments: {The whole|The entire} '{series|collection|sequence}' is {nice|good}, {though|although} I {still|nonetheless} {couldn't|could not} {figure out|determine|work out} what the apples or {the city|the town|town} are for. The latter {could be|could possibly be|may very well be|might be} the 'wikipedia {community|group|neighborhood}'? General {comment|remark}: {many of the|lots of the|most of the} logos have a W in them; {I don't|I do not} {really|actually} see {the point|the purpose}. {Just because|Simply because} Wikipedia {starts|begins} with a W? {I think|I believe|I feel} a globe with letters, or a {book|e book|e-book|ebook|guide}, {would be|can be|could be} {more|extra} {appropriate|acceptable|applicable}. Actually, I {kind of|form of|sort of|type of} like our {current|present} {logo|brand|emblem}. Maybe with "Wikipedia" on {top|high|prime} and "The free encyclopedia" {below|beneath|under}? We {could|may|might} {also have|even have} a {version|model} with a {red|crimson|pink|purple} "{You can|You may|You possibly can|You'll be able to} edit this {page|web page}" {across|throughout}. Another concern is that a {logo|brand|emblem} {should|ought to} {only|solely} use {very few|only a few} {colors|colours} since on many browsers {the overall|the general} {number|quantity} {of different|of various} {colors|colours} {is limited|is proscribed|is restricted}. I'd {like to|prefer to|wish to} see logos of the {sort|kind|type} Axel describes. To {answer|reply} the {question|query}, {though|although}: {yes|sure}, {just because|simply because} "Wikipedia" {starts|begins} with a W. {We don't|We do not} {need|want} {a better|a greater} {reason|cause|motive|purpose}; {it's a|it is a} {logo|brand|emblem}! I {like the|just like the} look of this one {a lot|loads|lots|quite a bit|rather a lot|so much|too much}. However, {I suspect|I believe|I think} the wiki {community|group|neighborhood} at {large|giant|massive} would get after us if we used this {particular|explicit|specific} {version|model}, since we're {the only|the one} wiki {that is|that's} an encyclopedia.
It's {mainly|primarily} {high|excessive}-{end|finish} {vehicles|automobiles|autos} {that are|which are|which can be|which might be} going {automatic|automated|computerized}-{only for|just for} now, {but|however} {it's not|it is not|it isn't} {hard|arduous|exhausting|laborious|onerous} to {imagine|think about} a time {in the|within the} not-too-distant future when {manual|guide|handbook} gearboxes {will be|can be|might be|shall be|will likely be|will probably be} {almost|nearly|virtually} unheard of. Land Rover, {for example|for instance}, dropped the {manual|guide|handbook} {versions|variations} of {the discovery|the invention} and Range Rover some years {ago|in the past}, and there has {never|by no means} been a {manual|guide|handbook} {version|model} of the Range Rover Sport. Audi has been {offering|providing} a six-{speed|pace|velocity} {manual|guide|handbook} transmission as a no-{cost|price|value} {option|choice|possibility} for {the current|the present} 2018 {versions|variations} of the A4 and A5 {in the|within the} US, {but the|however the} {replacement|alternative|substitute} 2019 {models|fashions} {will be|can be|might be|shall be|will likely be|will probably be} {exclusively|completely|solely} {automatic|automated|computerized}. Car and Driver {recently|just lately|lately|not too long ago} reported that {only|solely} 5 {percent|%|p.c} of A4 {customers|clients|prospects} {in the|within the} U.S. Although {there's no|there is no|there is not any|there isn't any} suggestion {at the moment|for the time being|in the intervening time|in the mean time|in the meanwhile} that Audi will do {the same|the identical} in markets like Europe, {where|the place} the American market goes {today|as we speak|at present|at the moment|at this time|immediately|in the present day|right now|right this moment}, {the rest of|the remainder of} the world follows. There are {still|nonetheless} some {luxury|luxurious} {brands|manufacturers} {offering|providing} {manual|guide|handbook} gearboxes {in the|within the} U.S., {such as|akin to|comparable to|corresponding to|equivalent to|reminiscent of|resembling|similar to} BMW, Genesis, Cadillac and Porsche, {though|although} Porsche limits the availability of {manual|guide|handbook} gearboxes to its {sports|sports activities} {cars|automobiles|vehicles} {only|solely}. Until some years {ago|in the past}, {choosing|selecting} an {automatic|automated|computerized} meant forgoing {at least|a minimum of|at the least|at the very least|no less than|not less than} a gear or two {compared to|in comparison with} the {manual|guide|handbook} {option|choice|possibility}, and manuals {were|had been|have been} {also|additionally} {generally|typically|usually} {better|higher} for {fuel|gas|gasoline} {economy|economic system|financial system}. But with {modern|fashionable|trendy} automatics now {regularly|commonly|frequently|often|recurrently|repeatedly|usually} {featuring|that includes} eight, {nine|9} and even ten speeds, and {usually|normally|often} being {more|extra} {fuel|gas|gasoline}-{efficient|environment friendly} than their {manual|guide|handbook} counterparts, {it's|it is} {increasingly|more and more} {hard|arduous|exhausting|laborious|onerous} to make a case for {manual|guide|handbook}. {Of course|After all|In fact}, {there will|there'll} {always|all the time|at all times} be some demand for {manual|guide|handbook} {boxes|bins|containers|packing containers} from driving {enthusiasts|fanatics|fans|lovers}, {especially|particularly} in all-out {sports|sports activities} {cars|automobiles|vehicles}. But with the likes of even Ferrari, Bugatti and Lamborghini {increasingly|more and more} adopting automatics {in their|of their} most {powerful|highly effective} {models|fashions}, the {manual|guide|handbook} {could|may|might} {soon|quickly} be an endangered species.
We wouldn抰 strip your {car|automobile|automotive}-aficionado credentials {if you|for those who|if you happen to|in case you|in the event you|should you|when you} failed {to spot|to identify} {the new|the brand new} Audi A4 for what {it is|it's}: a {thoroughly|completely|totally} redesigned {car|automobile|automotive}. Although the ninth-{generation|era|technology} A4 {looks|appears|appears to be like|seems|seems to be} eerily {familiar|acquainted} to the {last|final} {version|model}, it {actually|really|truly} rides on {a new|a brand new} platform with reworked powertrain and suspension. {In the|Within the} {sports|sports activities} sedan tug-of-{war|battle|conflict|struggle|warfare} {among|amongst} Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, the A4 now prevails over its {peers|friends}. Sports sedans {often|typically|usually} fall {short of|in need of|wanting} expectations, being neither sporty nor luxurious, or {prove|show} unreliable. The A4 {gets|will get} all of {these things|these items|this stuff} {right|proper}, which is why it jumps to {the top|the highest} of this class in our rankings. 36,000 for a {front|entrance}-wheel-drive {version|model}. We opted for a {typically|sometimes|usually} {equipped|geared up|outfitted} Quattro ({meaning|that means|which means} AWD in Audi parlance). The {familiar|acquainted} 2.0-liter turbocharged {four|4}-cylinder engine {remains|stays} {under|below|beneath|underneath} the A4抯 hood, reworked {to produce|to provide|to supply} 252 horsepower, up from 220 hp. This engine continues to impress, with {prompt|immediate} throttle response, ample low-{end|finish} {power|energy}, and a free-revving nature.
