Audi TT, A3/S3, are the only A-chassis cars offered. The A4/S4 and Mk5 Passat (1998-2005MY in US) are on the B-chassis. A6/S6 on the C-chassis, and A8/S8 on the D-chassis.

It's odd because not all Passats are really B-chassis cars. The newest Passat is not, for example. A lot of people call it a "B6" even though it's not.
