Spyker C8.

Considering What's App sold for $18bn, I don't think I understand money anymore.

Whatsapp sold for $18bn. So....

The "recharge" time on a diesel is like 5 minutes. That's why.

At first I liked this car. Now I need this car....

The Polo isn't on the radar for the U.S. market yet, which is starting to be a real shame now that it looks this good and packs a three-pot. Next time, VW. Please?

I've never heard of a GDI. This is basically a faster TDI. (So the GTI version of the TDI).

Also a proper alignment... all the people who do dumb shit like steering wheels, struts, rims, etc etc..... try getting your alignment adjusted and tuned slightly for sporty driving, it will make more of a difference than anything else(short of tires).

That was such a great phone!

I mean, if it's done right, more power is more better. However considering cost, if they could pull off 260-ish hp and keep it close to $30k it would still be very competitive. (I mean outside of usability.... if you want something as usable as a MS3, Golf R, Focus ST, etc, you probably won't want an FRS. The back

Porsche and Audi hardly care about market size when it comes to what they are going to build. I mean obviously they have their bread and butter, that's why we're seeing Audi pushing the A3 as a sedan in the states and Porsche releasing the Macan. (Cheaper = more sales, same reason the VW jetta became cheaper).

Yeah, I think the current Golf R is 260-ish, the new model is supposed to be closer to 300. That said a 300-hp golf R is going to be very heavy. (3325lbs for 2013 according to edmunds). The FRS is 2800lbs, even if the hot version was 3000, 260hp/3000lbs = .087 hp/lb, vs 290/3300=.087hp/lb. That of course is ignoring

Nothing wrong with curvy smooth lines...

Yep, remember when they killed the R8 so it wouldn't compete with the 911?

The ST is 247hp @ 3200 lbs. A 280hp FRS would be absurdly fast comparatively. Even if it gained 200 lbs in the process it would STILL be more than 200 lbs lighter than an ST. (30-ish hp and 200 lbs is a BIG difference in performance).

Says the guy whose handle is "300hp...rwdfor30k"!

It's pretty standard for the segment.

I've sat in the A3 at an auto show and regularly driver a newer A4, the legroom felt exactly the same. So just to make sure I'm not crazy I just looked it up... according to Audi's site the difference is .1 inches:

I tought this was the 2 series....
