Audi has just expanded their diesel pallet with the 2014 Audi A6, A7, and Q5 TDI models, and recently announced pricing and MPG figures for all three.

Audi TDI technology has been one of the leading producers of diesel cars since its introduction to the U.S. in 2009. As gas prices increase and the need for better fuel economy increases with it, diesel cars will rise in popularity. Diesel engines have 30% higher fuel efficiency and 30% lower emissions without sacrificing power and performance, so they can be a great alternative to hybrid vehicles. More...

Sunlight bounced off the Pacific Ocean and poured inside the spacious cabin of the 2013 Audi A8 L from all angles, as it cruised down Pacific Coast Highway on a lazy Sunday. I could have made a lot of adjustments – tightened the suspension, raised the rear window shades or even initiated the seat massagers. But I didn’t, because in the 2013 A8 L, there is no need to do anything but sit back and enjoy the experience.

The feeling of the leather-wrapped steering wheel in my hands and smooth glide down the coastline were all I needed at that moment, and the big Audi delivered. Slightly updated for 2013, the luxury sedan has staked out a nice niche for itself in a land still ruled by Mercedes and BMW, and it’s easy to see why. The A8 moves adeptly from comfort cruiser to amped-up bruiser, with varying stages in between, and has both the look and the goods to make its $87,200 asking price worth a second glance. More...

With driver-assistance technology creeping into more and more vehicles these days, Audi and MIT combined to research stress levels in drivers, and the conditions that affected them. The idea is to use the technology to reduce driver frustration in stressful situations. Whether this is the first step toward the automated car or not is yet to be determined.

Audi and MIT teamed up to create the Road Frustration Index, which charts and measures their findings. So far, a 12-month test has been conducted in Boston but they expect to research 30 metropolitan areas across the country. There haven’t been any major breakthroughs yet, except MIT project leader Kael Greco said that “One study showed that getting sideswiped by an oncoming car can be almost as stressful as jumping out of a plane.” Excuse me, Mr. Greco, but… duh.

The Mercedes-Benz CLS may have started the four-door coupe trend, but the Audi A7 is the newest and coolest kid on the block. Likewise, Leonard Nimoy introduced Dr. Spock to the world, but it’s Zachary Quinto that is re-endearing the Star Trek character to the public.

And just like Audi blitzed Ironman 3 with product placement and automotive tie-ins, they’re doing the same with this inter-galactic franchise, pitting the two Spocks against each other in the kind of race that most Audi and Mercedes drivers choose to engage in: One that ends at the country club. Hilarity ensues. More...
