it's the exact same system as the "old" A4 used, just badged differently.  in
order to get 4Motion as VW calls it, you have to buy the top-o-the-line GLX
V6 Passat.  It's the 30v 2.8L V6 with the same setup as quattro.  That's how
they keep it cheaper than Audi, by using old technology.   I call it Trickle
Down Technology.  Sells a lot of Audis anyway.
