After 30 years at the forefront of Audi's small executive gas car lineup, the A4 is being discontinued. The A5—previously the preserve of style-forward coupes—is now Audi's gas sedan (or, liftback) for the world's middle managers. Why is the A4 gone? Well, it isn't quite dead; Audi's even-numbered cars will be electric and its odd-numbered cars will still use squished-up dinosaurs to get around.
