yep, Audi has TDI's (Diesel engines) out but they aren't in the States except the Q7. Unless they were imported, there are a few here and there but not too many, you see more Jetta TDI's than anything... my roommate has a Jetta TDI.

Check out Audi.com, they should have all the TDI's listed there, I know they have the A3 2010 model featured on their home page right now.

I really want the A4 TDI, so I'm waiting, quite impatiently I might add.

Thanks for the info. I was looking at the Jetta TDI's but they are all FWD, as far as I can tell, and we have recently moved to an area where it snows. Neither of us has experience driving in snow and would feel better about having the AWD.

Yeah, I'm not to familiar with Jetta's but I have yet to see one that's AWD. For the snow, just get a good dedicated snow tire for the first year and drive slower, I learned to drive in the snow on a little Toyota Corolla, it had awesome snow tires and I never ran into a problem.
My roommate didn't have a problem driving his car in the snow last year even with crappy tires, you just gotta be careful, a little more cautious. Either way I'd go with a good dedicated snow tire and some steelies for winter.

Also be prepared to feel vibrations in your tires when the snow has been around for a while, snow tends to freeze in the bottom of your wheel well, after your tires warm up they will melt the ice and the vibrations go away.
