I mean, when you lead off with “disruptive technology” my eyes glaze over.

Its not cruise control’s fault, its the meatbag between the seat and the steering wheel that is to blame for using it in unsafe conditions.

We honestly would, but we don’t have any family nearby on which to dump them.

The dog is the gamechanger/dealbreaker there though. Having a large dog (or two in my case) and kiddos means you can’t use the trunk for packing anything. Everything goes in the backseat if theres any room, or up in the roofbox.

In my experience, the salesmen know less about the intricacies of the complex electronics, at least not how to alter settings. Their knowledge is mainly surface level, enough to explain the features on the sales brochures. And given its their job to know that info about a dozen or more models, thats totally fine with…

I have a good example, since I just did this. Bought a 2017 (build date 6/16) Q7. MSRP was 78k, my price was about 60% of that. For a 3 year old car with 37k miles and 13k left on the factory warranty. My interest rate is 3.64% for 72 months. I could have bumped that down to 3.29 for 48 months but I prefer to have the…

But this is all a lie because manuals are dead and we should all just accept this.

Yea. If only there was a supplier out there who made a 6MT gearbox for a mid engine’d car......

I’m sorry, the title of this atricle doesn’t jive with the fact that this vulnerability was only disclosed 7 days ago and by their own admission VLC is more than half complete with a fix. So UNINSTALL VLC because there is a vulnerability that they’re workign on fixing? Good lord...

This is what the NSX should have been...

Oh jesus. I saw a Gladiator in the parking lot at work today. Its SO FREAKING HORRID!!!!

60?? This a terrible take and you should feel terrible...

So you’r saying the 60s were Peak America? Like, Jim Crow era America? Good lord dude, you need some perspective.

Good call. Because all those other upmarket brands that its trying to hang with definitely don’t make M/S/RS/AMG versions of their cars.

Whoosh...

Okay. So your points aren’t incorrect, they’re invalid. As OttoMaddox said, come up with a better argument.

Yup. Those are probably some peasant-level Q7/Q8 handles. 

A lot of this is straight from the Audi parts bin, if if we’re being honest here. Rear heated seats? Optional on a 2002 A4. Sun-shade above rearview mirror? Standard on all A4s starting in 2002 (possibly before that, but I don’t know B5s well). Cigarette port flashlight? Was an Audi accessory catalog item, and likely…

Holy dogwhistle, batman!
