Does anybody know why the new A4 Quattro is still fitted with the "old" type permanent 4wd system instead of the Haldex system fitted to the TT , Skoda. Is the A4 version better?

The Golf (haldex) system is designed for a transverse engine layout which is found in all the golf varients.
The A4, A6 and Passat all have the engine mounted longitudinally(as per the original quattro), so the same system wouldn't fit. Note the Golf 4motion and the Passat 4Motion use different systems.
Have not driven any of these so cannot comment of which is better.
