You can’t wait to get behind the wheel. Detours become more the rule than the exception. Every extra mile in the driver’s seat is like slowly and deliciously consuming a bar of rich chocolate after being on a six-month no-sweets diet.

That’s the way it is with the all-new-for-2009 Audi A4.

We drove the 3.2 Quattro loaded with 265 horsepower and the optional Audi Drive Select package, which with the touch of a button can change the entire driving experience.

Like many of you this writer is a big guy with big expectations. Thus, when Audi delivered its new A3 2.0T S-tronic Quattro to our house we looked at it and jokingly (?) asked where its mother was? It looked kind of small for our tastes. However, we signed the waiver, took the keys and went back in the house. We were in no hurry to compress ourselves, squeeze inside and go for a spin. Turns out the joke was on us and we ended up wasting a block of time not driving a vehicle that has suddenly become one of our new best friends.

Germany has given the world a number of great innovations, from Gutenberg’s Printing Press to Lederhosen. Among our personal favorites are sausages and spätzles. All of these “gifts” are great but the country has given us something that has such magic powers it can remove 40 years from your age – proof that Ponce de Leon looked in the wrong place. We’re of course referring to the Audi S5.
