See our LIVE WEBCAST at http://www.autonetwork.com. Paul Gerrard, Director Training, talks about safe driving tips of racers applied to every day driving. Infineon Raceway, at the A4 media launch, in Sonoma, CA. May 6, 2008.
I would go for the A4. It depends what you're looking for really. If you want a nice tech package and luxury, go for the Acura. If you are looking for a driver's car with an elegant in and out - go for the Audi. I have an A4 and I am so happy with it. It has things it can't do RWDs can, but it can power out of turns with full traction. They understeer, but once you learn to brake hard before the turn, coast through the turn and then power out of a turn the car makes you feel like a real pilot.
Technologically I am almost certain the Acura is better. I wouldn't say the Audi is far behind.
Reliability also goes to Acura. Honda (makers of Acura if you didn't know) is one of the most reliable auto manufacturers.
Personally I'd go with the Audi. It is nice to have nice gizmos in the car but it is all about enjoying the ride. Like BMW, Audi puts a smile on your face when your drive "enthusiastically"
As a commercial driver, it takes actually schooling to really learn to drive. In some countries in Europe, you must go to driving school in order to get a license. It should be the same in the US. A five minute video. I see so many bad habits I'm disgusted. Commercial drivers are best qualified to teach and train drivers.
I attended Audi's Driving Experience recently. They teach you all this and it's great. But this video should SHOW you that - how to adjust seating height, distance to pedals, correct steering wheel hand positioning, etc. Takes maybe 3 minutes, sadly missing from this vid.

Depends what you mean by better.
Performance Audi is MUCH better.

Actually, it's 5 minutes long, but I only got two things out of it: adjust your seat, and technology is helping hide our faults.
Give us more. You have an expert there; pick his brain for the good stuff!
You're putting a lot of effort into gathering these interviews, make them count!
