Jeff et al,

BTW are you a buyer or a renter of the Audi?
One possible hypothesis is that the treatment of a new vehicle is 
directly related to the above! 
A 2 or 3 year renter with a 3 year/50000 mile mechanical warranty may 
not give a flying thingy through a rolling donut about thrashing the 
gonads off a new engine or, in fact, similar treatment throughout the 
rental agreement!!!

I have seen similar commentary in various auto publications about such 
concerns.
