I wish this guy the best of luck. I suffered from anxiety issues for years and didn’t really realize it until I had a mental breakdown 4 years ago. I went to therapy, have some meds that help, but at the end of the day its all about working hard to break old habits, learn to accept fear and dangers and march on.

Well first of all Audi doesn’t even have this out yet. My comment was with regards to EVs. So far Tesla, GM, Ford, Fiat, and Nissan have had EVs for years. I assume this Audi is going to cost a shit-ton of money too and will have limited sales at best. The Audi A3 wagon, which has also yet to come out has a 30 mile…

Ehh... Good god these are such fugly looking cars.

So it's an electric Audi? Probably be a lot of owners who will have the entire car malfunction then. Oh- and these guys are late to the party.

It's the tires. If you look closely at the tires around the track they look sad, crying little tire tears

I wouldnt be concerned but I’d be worried that the guys would get all vacuumed up in the jet engines.

Damn it, I did too. That first pic totally looks like a Beluga whale jumping out of the sand.

Sorry to sound like a broken record but my instant reaction of ther first photo was: “Another Corvette Article...”

The hat wins the dumbest hat award in my book.

Dude, I wasn’t the one getting all huffy over someone commenting over the relative crappiness of VW products. If you think I’m the only one who thinks this then you haven’t spent much time on this or other automotive sites. vW’s reliability problems are well known and documented by pretty much all automotive journals,…

Even when new I always thought these things simply looked pretty much like a fancy fartcan.

It looks like they simply stuck it on garden tractor tires and installed some pep boy gauges

Ok, then I’ll take my family’s own experience with the combined 20 or so Toyotas and Hondas of which probably more than half had well over 250,000 miles before they were traded in. Of those, none and I mean like NONE ever had any issues. If what you are going by are on your own personal experiences and that is your…

Why should this be a surprise? Seems par for the course that VW would make something unnessesarily complicated or try to improve on a time-tested manufacturing method.

I feel that using long term reliability reports as a measure of my response was sufficient. Likewise I am sure there are a few Yugo owners out there who had flawless ownership experiences with their cars. But that doesn’t automatically mean the manufacture was a good one.

Where? Pretty much all of the long-term reliability reports over the past few decades as well as from personal experience. My MIL’s VW Jetta TDI is the biggest piece of shit. Hers and probably about 45% of those whom I know who own these.

Most country stations are all basically the same autoplay station nationwide anyway. The even have one here in San Francisco and the last time I listened a year or so ago they played the sane songs in the same order every single day.

I am originally from Nashville so I “should” be more supportive. But that music is shit. It annoys me too that a lot of washed-up musicians convert over to that form. Says a lot about the medium. Cash would be ashamed. At least the Americana movement is finally catching on.

If you had checked just a month ago or so VW was No.1. Will they go away? Maybe... Maybe not. But falling from No.1 to no.3 is a pretty steep decline.

The plastic grill would likely shatter in a million pieces if you did
