What makes you call this a "budget" chassis? Is this purely because it's not RWD, or is there some other reason?

The benchmark model is audi s4 and not bmw. I am glad they are using unique components and doble wishbone suspension again but the layout is most likely based on fwd architecture with engine over the front axle.
I am more excited about Mazda's rwd I6 platform.

I was referencing a BMW 330i xDrive because this is a BMW forum, but if for whatever reason you want to pick an Audi, an S Line A4 is their vehicle around the same price and equipment.

Acura is using the Audi as a benchmark in their press materials, hence why he said that, they probably feel like they are more competitive with them rather than BMW or Benz because of the FWD architecture.

yes exactly ... thanks for additional clarification
