This car is so grotesque that i'd go so far as to form a negative character judgement about anybody i see in it.

I remember attending the Toronto auto show in the early 90's and a company had one on display. They'd take a fifteen year old car, gut it to the frame and build it up new from there. (to get around import safety restrictions) Then you were supposed to give them $20,000, which would be closer to $30,000 today. No…

I'll admit that i was taken by that hint-of-retro dash when it first appeared. Although i'd still be happier with a mint 1996 A4, the car that brought Audi back to life.

It's obvious that she's powered by cocaine.

An orange Transporter was the very first vehicle i ever drove back in 1983, i was just a kid and those few minutes piloting it in a park were so damned exciting i think i almost vomited.

I'm just looking for a preview of the '96 sponges.

Hasn't anyone else thought of the wonders airbag deployment would bring?

This is done to prevent prostitution.

Look how well it dodges those rupturing appendixes!

It must've partied quite a bit after being awarded "World car of the Year" in 2005, it looks tired.

This thing is vulgar, inside and out.

Back through the years

@GSPALDIN:

That ad has almost a surreal "is this actually happening?" feel to it.
