Oh christ, come off it mate. This kind of thing will have a great deal of public support in Palo Alto.

i built one up to $60k can. so about $58 usd. Not bad. would rather have than an E350!

Still using stupid cheesy plastic wood everywhere. I've never been on the fence about a vehicle purchase and thought... ya know... I really think I'll go with this one because of the stupid plastic Granny Grain. WAKE UP and realize just like every other real luxury car company that people don't want this crap shoved…

Brabus Smart Roadster Coupe V6 Bi-Turbo. 215 HP for a car that weighed 1850 pounds? My word. Wow.

Everybody seems to be nominating American cars, so I'll try to add something different. Just look at this:

I get the impression that a lot of these are going to include "SRT" in the description. Like the Crossfire SRT6 convertible. An AMG SLK32 in Detroit duds. I actually like the look and it had performance to back it up. I just know I can't fit comfortably.

It's not a new phenomenon. They've been doing this with Mercedes at least since the 6.3 sedan in the late 1960's. There's actually an article in the December 1972 issue of Motor Trend which exposes this. Disgusting.

Michael.... This is great.

Like a new pope was just elected out of the trunk.

Less drivetrain power reduction!

this has nothing to do with perception or fanbase.... it's about how unsuccessful other companies have been in transitioning to new places.

And as everyone who's seen The Lion King knows, hyenas are assholes.

True dat. They get a pass because they have style and many have AWD, forgetting that most Audi's are essentially FWD cars with part-time AWD. They're even nose-heavy, just like most FWD cars!

What, you didn't get the memo? Because of "no dogmas", which was the mantra of former M Division chief Dr. Kay Segler...this came about as they brought the 1M to market with a turbo non full blown M Division engine....This mantra probably came from up top, and now really means—-"profit for profit sake"....hence the 6…

The A8 is even available with FWD in Europe, but not here anymore, but it was the first few years though.

soo many "enthusiasts" are FWD haters but treat Audi as a fucking God among cars. The A6 is still available as FWD lol... think about that kiddos

thanks badge whores, you have ruined it for all of us

Yeah either we've been had by automobile magazine or someones really lazy at fact checking.

hold on, didn't the 190 2.3-16 Cosworth come before the E30 M3?

I've driven a few C63's.
