"one day?"

The French spent centuries beating up on the Germans. The worm certainly turned after Napoleon invaded Russia. On the other hand the French army could probably take Berlin by telephone these days (to paraphrase Hitler's comment about Denmark).

You have a lot of history to learn. One battle in 1940 doesn't erase a thousand years of military heritage.

TURN LANE FOR WHAT?!

I can't think of any properly attractive car in the current BMW line-up. The bets is probably the 2-series, but it just manages to avoid being ugly. All the sins of modern car design are present - bizarre over-busy front ends, high belt-lines, and flabby slab sides.

I'm seeing a Hyundai Sonata...

A blind alley mechanically, but a fascinating one. No question it influenced European car design - Audis 20 years later were still working from the same cues.

I was going to post this car; glad you already had.

We may see the A1, but as always with AoA it may only come here as a four-door automatic. Too bad, because I would rock one with a stick.

Tree rings, carbon dating, other cultures.. next...

..this is because, as so often, you are letting old prejudices trump the facts. Audi and VW ten years ago deserved their poor reputations. Audi in particular is putting out far more reliable cars now, and have much better reported defect and repair rates than the other German marques.

The AAN (5-cylinder turbo in the S4/S6) loves the boost. Stock 227BHP , there are street tunes as high as 800hp.

It's *perfect*

In my case, there's a step zero - remove the entire front of the car and lay the radiator flat in front of the engine bay. Could be worse - I could own a V8 S4 and have to replace the timing chain guides and tensioners...

Parking brake FTW

yes

As with other rear engine cars, it will be well isolated from the interior. The current ForTwo may be an awful penalty box of a car, but it doesn't ever set fire to what's in the trunklet.

"you've clearly never driven an Audi"
LOL. I am an Audi owner and I have had the privilege to drive a good number of models from various eras.

Spare me the goofy insults, you wacky ding-dong.
