Audi, stop being such a tease and build the darn thing! The current platform for the A4 is such a giant whale and the new A3 had just the right size and proportions.

Just when I thought the WH40k license couldn't get any worse treatment in video games...I see this. At this point, the WH40k games from the '90s and early 2000s are the best we'll ever have. Anyone remember Final Liberation?

I'm really looking forward to seeing this car "in the flesh". It's dimensions are almost the same as a B5 A4...and I loved that car. I've been disappointed at how the A4 has grown in size (it's almost the same size as a 10 year old A6). With 300+ bhp that can be tuned to even more, what's not to like?

So what it comes down to is whether it's going to prevent the car from doing its intended function. That probably means different things if you intended your car to be transportation, or transportation and an information center.

That's 20 minutes of charging to get a 100 miles of range at "normal highway speeds"...ever seen the average lap time at Le Mans for a P1 car? It's roughly in the 3:20 range for an 8.5 mile (approx) lap which translates to an average speed of 154 m/h...average. At those speeds, the demand on the batteries would mean…

Utterly brilliant. Why hasn't anyone else done this?

Well, looks like I'm going to hold on to my 2006 Audi A4 for a little longer...don't want to be an early adopter of this, potentially, disastrous alliance. I'll keep my "retro" dedicated buttons and "monochrome" display...it's just the way I like it. Oh, and I'll keep my 6-speed with three pedals as well.

Yeah...that's a standard instrument cluster so, there will be ones that aren't used with a petrol engine. This one isn't diesel...no way does it rev to 8,000...

WTF is up with all these "diffusers" in body colour? 1) They are completely cosmetic and 2) they should be black.

Bought one of these this fall...takes about 30 seconds to lift a corner for changing wheels. They're small, not too heavy, and pretty darn good looking too!

Yeah, those "diffusers" are useless...but making it stand out in red is plain silly. It should be flat black.

When the specs for the new A3 came out earlier in the year, I had a look through the archives and compared the B5, B7, and B8 A4's (I've owned all of these models at some point in time) with the new A3 (and threw in an older A6 as well). As the author mentioned, the new A3 is pretty much the same size and weight as…

Completely agree on the "three pedals, gear lever, and a nice sounding exhaust"...the best entertainment you can get in a car. Simpler is better and this is why I have held on to my 2006 Audi A4 2.0Tq. No garish screens...just a simple red LCD on the stereo and real buttons to control the iPod I have plugged in…

Funny thing...go to the EA web site and look at the description for the collector's edition...it says "Available for XBOX ONE, Xbox 30 and PC..."

Traction control

Engine mapping

Pit lane speed limiter...

Here's the thing...the system is not "preventing the driven wheels from spinning under power"...it is simply selecting how the KERS system recharges the battery. What is going to happen is that, once there's enough evidence, the teams will lobby the FIA to change the rules to say that KERS charging cannot take place…

I have read everything that he authored including the non-fiction books. Two books are tied for my favourite: Red Storm Rising and Rainbow Six. While the last 4-5 books were co-written and not 100% Clancy, they were still good reads and it's unfortunate that there won't be any more. Sad to learn this news...

The first car I owned was a 1987 Coupe GT...loved the lines, the styling, interior, etc. Wished I know more about the cars and looked for a quattro with manual...oh well. I've wanted something similar but modern and this would be the closest. I like the RS5...but this is so much cooler.
