Hey now— Audi just ranked #2 by Consumer reports for Luxury brands, that said since those metrics included telematics, etc (customer receives as broken, etc)- I tend to not give the new car ones too much rank, but it’s still somewhat helpful.

Had 2 reservations from last May. One was just canceled- 1st it was pushed to May-June, then just recently a few months more, and now this news.

Saw the title and thought it was about a updated Fiat 124. These are even prettier.

totally agree, it’s why I went w/ the 911 Turbo as my first supercar class vehicle. I am not super in love with the 911 design, but the wider hips on older 911s— super sexy.

Sexy! Brown like dirt or a shoe.

Although I agree “emotional” is overused by PR and Ad people, I do think to be beautiful it has to evoke an emotional response in the eye of a beholder. Also craftsmanship as well, even if I don’t like it, I always find that beautiful.

For me it’s either a mini cooper or our Fiat 500E (although honestly that car I do take out and smile in). I’m almost 6 feet so that’s part of why.

That’s a good point. Even if it had other values attached, to some it does bleed over. My point was only you can’t assume anyone flying it by definition was racist or supported slavery.

Slight (/S) distinction between Nazis and Confederates- but I see the point.

Me a Southern flag guy? Born in Europe, grew up in California- but because I say not all Confederate flag fliers are racist, and recognized it has a meaning in the South, etc- I am. Everyone is way to fast to jump to conclusions and make judgments. That said there were some good points that were pending.

Don’t be embraced, this is a sick car and anyone who has driven one, much like a Porsche will know how great it is! We have a 500E (shares some of the same suspension) and it’s a blast. The Abarth makes such as sweet sound.

Orange, just because the South at that time was indeed pro slavery, to some degree it was predominantly for economic reasons (the backbone of the economy was plantation based), so that doesn’t mean the entire flag and everyone who stood under it was racist or even stood for or even in favor of slavery. Just saying.

OG, from from the only thing the confederacy represented was slavery. Sure, it’s maybe all it’s remembered for, especially to those who haven’t studied a lot of history— because that’s what did it in, but I digress.

I don’t think that’s super crazy and would love to review or even own one if I camped out a lot. It was clever.

Didn’t they have a van version this on old TopGear and kinda like it? 

guy filming was riding a rocket.

I genuinely think I’d take the Cadillac over almost anything else out there, the Audi being a close 2nd, but the Benz is too soft unless you go AMG and don’t even get me started on new BMWs.

Would love if you edited the FWD vs RWD part out. Although accurate under heavy acceleration, not at all so for snow. When I lived in Boston had a RWD BMW & FWD Jetta. Same exact snow tires, both had traction control, etc. The RWD car always struggled to get off the line, and got stuck several times. Not so with

Love how new headlights, talights, mirrors, etc is a redesign on a G Wagon. Digging the new interior tho.

I was wondering that too.
