I am a current Audi A4 owner and am in the end of my lease. I love my A4 but at what price? I’d surely lease another Audi if it was hybrid but have to consider another because I want to do my part. Is there any hope for Audi?

A true car enthusiast wouldn’t dare give up the rumble of a fine German engineered gasoline powered sedan. It’s pure sacrilege. Personally, I want an electric car now. I drive a BMW and if I had the cash, I would convert the thing to electric. I love my car, but I love my children and the environment more. So I will change even if they don’t. My next car is a hybrid.

This delay has always stumped me. The Europeans pay more for petrol than almost anyone else and I know half the cars run on diesel, but that fuel costs almost as much as petrol. I most likely see the Germans coming out with a diesel hybrid first before anyone else. Still, as the supposed auto capital of the world, they are not doing so well engineering wise. Remember, R&D is a company’s most valuable resource.
