[Biturbos4] S4 Rack Options

[Kyle Owen]

I have the wagon, but the cross bars are the same - I went OEM Audi (for the 
allroad too) + the Thule revolution 1600(?) - works well - I like the fit of 
the OEM and the mounting for attachments seems slick (haven't mounted 
anything but the box,) but I do have some old Thule bike carriers from 
previous rack systems that will not work due to the shape of the bars, which 
will potentially be a bummer some day (If I ever get my bike back on the 
road!)

I looked at both, but ended up going Audi, price/quality was comparable, so 
it was just a judgement call, really - I just figured the Audi (I have heard 
it is made by Thule, but who knows?) would be designed specifically to the 
car, vs. a more universal mounting system.
