S4
Q5 3.0T
SQ5 (slightly modified)
A6 3.0T
A7 3.0T
A8 3.0T
Q7 3.0T
In otherwords....in every vehicle other than the R8 and the A3 lies the nefarious 3.0T. Still think it's BMW who's cheap?
And oh yeah, let's see how long that engine lasts in the next 3-5 years. Say bye bye.
Not saying that the engine isn't good. But it's not the future.

Well there are a bunch of VWs and Skodas to be added to this list.
Audi is a glorified VW coated with better materials.
And even though we only get their quattros in the US, majority of Audi's sales in Europe is front wheel drive cars, which is way cheaper to manufacture and the easiest, cheapest and laziest way to achieve better gas mileage and interior space.
Audi is the company that mass produces "under steer". I've driven Audis multiple times, and I never understood how Audi is a close competitor to BMW or to MB. They have great build and material quality, but the driving experience is way behind.
