Sapphire Blue, a more comfortable seat, some Alcantara, Sport Chrono Package with Track app and two-zone automatic climate control.

At least in the Portland, OR area and the I-5 corridor between Portland and Seattle, I would say there are more fast lane loafers than there are the aggro drivers.

The only thing Saab-esque about the 5 GT is that it's kind of like the Trollblazer :P

Problem is that I don't see it as a wagon. At this point, I'm willing to give up my Jalop-card and settle for a 328d xDrive Wagon of I were to go down the BMW route.

I'm okay with having more hate than arguments for those cars.

BMW 5 GT, BMW X6, Mercedes GLE, Honda Crosstour, Toyota Prius (at least from the fast lane)...

You know, there are a small, small number of them in the US... that said, you will go to prison when you kill one of those owners to get one ;)

Same could be said about the unfortunate looking 5 GT, with 20,295 of those things sold. /smh

When Hyundai debuted the Equss in 2009

We've already got a lot of those here in the Portland area. Replace GReddy with COBB and slap on a boat load of RDM stickers and you'd fit in just perfectly. /s

Do the balls veer to the left or spin anti-clockwise? :)

T'was being a bit snarky with my response, but the risk of driving around with inattentive or plain a-holes behind the wheels is currently too high.

During or outside of surge charges and will there be a chance of violent and/or harassing encounters? :P

It's been dying for a long time...

Knowing how well Bosch automotive electronics and components can be, I'm not 100% sure that will be a good idea ;)

The long forgotten, distant relative to the Lamborghini Urus and Audi nanuk quattro!

The R8 came out well before the 4.0 TFSI was finalized and gone to production. In fact, the R8 launched with a modified, dry-sump version of the 4.2 V8 from the RS 4.

In terms of pricing and horsepower numbers, the NSX and the R8 V10 will be competitors; but, the V10 in the R8 has never been nor will it ever be a torque monster. I think that will have to wait until Audi gets the 4.0 TFSI or similar engine to replace the V10.

Heh... that was meant to be quite snarky. That said, I've had a few nice (and obviously not hot off the production lines) service loaners over the past several years: Audi S4, A6 TDI, A7, A8 L 4.2 and 4.0T.

That's what service loaners are for. Well, at least the service loaners that I've had ;)
