So like I said, I think this article is off base. Maybe @Scott26 can shed more light on this.

That's not really true, you forget Audi's parent company is VW. VW according to an article published just last week in the WSJ is spending huge amounts more than its closest automotive competitor and was near or at the top of the R&D rung even compared with organizations outside the automotive universe. Decreased R&D spending depending where it occurs could have some significant impacts on next generation products.
