This is a pretty interesting response to a similar question
There a lots of reasons to choose an A4 over a 4Runner.
1) 4Runner's handling is as scary as any sport-utility vehicles. High center of gavity, numb road feel and uncontrollable body rolls. I have driven my friend's 4Runner Limited. I got out of the car as soon as possible when I reached a back street. (the only SUVs that are enjoyable are the M-Class and RX300)
2) I think the best crash test sport-utilities are Mercedes M-Class and Lexus RX300. As I remembered, 4Runner is not at the top end of the list.
3) 4Runner's styling has already been introduced since 1995. Its now 2000 model-year, 4Runner will have a major change in at least one more year. I predict will be redesign at 2001.
4) 2000 A4 has side curtain for all passengers and optional HID headlights. A4 is designed for active safety (Quattro, 4-link front suspensions) as well as passive safety.
5) A4 is a unique European luxury sports sedan. Interior is tasteful, exterior is timless and its very reliable. More over, you can get Avant in States. Drive a 4Runner (or any SUV) means you are blend in with the public.
