FWD can be just as fun and as good as RWD, the Mini proves this to be true. Yeh, so what, BMW engineered the Mini, which no doubt is a leading factor as to why the car handles so well despite being FWD, goes to show at the same time that anything is possible.
I don't believe for one second that AWD will hamper Audi from achieving a neutral handling disposition like that of BMW, because they're also pioneering lightweight technologies (ASF, etc.) to offset the weight penlaty of the Quattro system. Though I am a BMW nut at the core, nothing is ever set in stone, especially w/ the new models coming out from both Audi and BMW.
