I've driven the latest 320d touring a bit, and the 520d touring as well, and while they're pretty good for 2.0 diesel they're not as quick as the ZS. The A4 1.9td we have at work is considerably slower than all of the above.

All have about the same (or more) power than the ZS 180 and a lot more torque, but the ZS is lighter and the torque curve and power delivery is always going to be better than an oil burning farm implement.
