UrQuattro presents all that is wrong with the Audi layout to this day. A heavy lump(I-5, which is pretty long too) sitting entirely in front of the front axle. And its dominance in rallying was pretty much done as soon as someone else figured out how to do AWD in a more balanced mechanical layout(ie, Peugeot).
I am with Ferrer on the Audi design, though I still find their cars desirable. Though I think a majority of the reason is their marketing.
