The manual gearbox isn't the most popular transmission in the United States. Only a select few prefer a sick shift, with mainstream consumer interest having largely shifted to automatic and CVT units. On top of the convenience of the automatic or CVT, manuals aren't a cheaper option anymore. Back in the day, the manual transmission was standard kit on many cars, with the automatic options having an up-charge, but that's no longer the case. And since automatics are generally more frugal, more buyers are opting for those - and thus, also more manufacturers.

Four-cylinder engines still don't have the same cachet as their bigger 6-and-8-cylinder siblings, but the auto industry is in love with them. Using a turbocharged 4-pot is an easy way to reach traditional 6- and 8-cylinder power while simultaneously reducing emissions. Although the 4-cylinder might never reach the iconic status of a V8, there are some impressive examples out there.

Having been launched back in 2015, the Audi A4 was in dire need of a replacement. The all-new model is finally out, and it goes by another name. The A5 Sedan and A5 Avant replace the old A4-badged models and come along with spicy S5 performance versions. However, we should clarify the A5/S5 Sedan is not a sedan in the truest sense of the word. It has a more practical tailgate instead of the traditional trunk lid. In other words, it’s effectively a replacement for the old A5 Sportback.
