@DoctorNine: Are you serious? That speaks very well of the active differential. Audi has always been annoyingly understeering as long as i can remember — superb for long hauls, not so fun in the twisties.

@speakerboy: I second the motion for a new S4 Avant.

@FrankGrimes: your styling and suspension tastes are your own.

I am counting one more reason NOT to buy a Ford.

@maximum_sarge: Agreed.

@Comrade Clockwork: well said!

@GreenN_Gold: not bloody likely.

@snapoversteer 'bout to get told:

@tonyola:

@tonyola: thank you for underscoring my point — what percentage of Americans in the 1930's could even dream of seeing a Cadillac, let alone driving one? And today?

@tonyola: How about the CL63 AMG? No pointy edges for me, thanks.

@tonyola:

Same transmission as an F150?

Detroit has serious problems, yes, but so does every rust belt town in the good old US of A...

@TRAMS_AM: it mostly depends on whether you want torque with that, as most people here already know.

Why stop there? If you're going to remove every creature feature that makes the car liveable on a daily basis, then why not just remove the engine and install pedals too?

All right, Trollhättan brothers. New Plan:

Crown Vics are immune to tickets, Interceptor package or not.

about @#$%^& time, Toyota.

@Buckus: If you throw in that requirement, then we'll all be arguing endlessly what constitutes a "significantly new" car. Face it, there just isn't that much new to choose from this year. GTI is just as significant as anything.
