Default b5...b6 ???

I may be dumb, but what does the b5 or b6 mean when talking about the Audi A4?

It's the "internal" designation for the differing model years. All Auto companies use them. Generally, with Audi (and many, many other companys, too), the higher the # associated with a designation, the newer the model...

All the cogniscenti use themwhen speaking of their rides, to other cogniscenti

Little clarification.

In Europe the B5 started in 95.

There is a 2005 B6 model as well as a 2005 B7 model, which people call a 2005.5.

I said the same thing when it came out. In fact I hated it. Over a few months it grew on me so much that I had to go out and buy one!

Sweetness!! Cool to see them all next to each other.

But the B5 looks the best.
