Direct Injection gets you increased power and fuel economy although I don't know if I trust VW/Audi reliability. One thing I noticed about the Audi engine is that peak torque starts lower.
207 lb-ft at 1800 rpm on the Audi instead of 221 lb-ft at 2500 rpm for the Saab 2.0 Turbo engines.
However, at 1800 rpm, the Saab has about 200 lb-ft, and it passes the Audi in torque at about 2000 rpm.
Now this is minor until one considers, (as Mike has mentioned), that the A4 is at least 250 pounds heavier.
