The 0 to 60 was a bit suprising...6.6 sec. That's even with a manual.

Oh yeah, you might wanna check out the video too.

I'd be more interested to see how the A4's 255 hps engine does compared to the 330i's.

I don't think they should have left it up to the manufacturers to select the car under the circumstances. They probably should have compared the A4 2.OT with the 325 with manual and sport package. That would have been a fair comparison. If they compare the 330 against the A4 3.2 they should both have automatic transmissions.

I absolutely do NOT trust that zero to 60 time for the 330.

Not for a minute.

WHo ever has ever driven an Audi and BMW or owned both ( I own a 2000 A4 1.8T & 2005 BMW 325i manual, sport) will tell u the obvious truth, BMW is a much better car than Audi, its as simple as that.
The best thing BMW does better is quality, this is easily seen in the longetivity of both cars, my 2000 Audi feels like a 96' due to the simple wear and tear it receives from daily activity.
As far as handling and performance, the BMW is just flat out better man, it turns better, accelertates better and just gives u a much better handle of the car itself...Audi/VW is def < BMW
