So you mean they should not react to what the market wants today, ignore that global competition demands increasing volumes from a standalone player, fade into obscurity and go bankrupt. Gotcha.

I’m not for fat shaming, but that is seriously the worst thought out, unscientific intellectual judo I have ever heard. Face the facts: If you eat less than you burn, you lose weight. Nobody who follows that rule with a balanced diet and moderation (e.g 200-300 cal below burn per day) will not lose weight or will lack…

I stand corrected

He didn’t off himself. You sound like a charming fella.

Yes they do. Not multiplayer, but achievements. It’s called game center.

Don’t knock it. There were other Bond tie-in limited car editions. Some even with bullet-hole stickers...

You forgot the best one. During the 1988 Paris-Dakar the Peugeot 405 of race leader Ari Vatanen was stolen over night in Mali. It was recovered later, but too late for Vatanen, who was disqualified.

Their race cars are still horrible front heavy pigs? Dude, you’re the most clueless person around. Please show me these front-heavy race cars. Le Mans? Mid engine. R8? Mid engine. DTM? Engine far behind the front axle.

Your lack of knowledge is only exceeded by your mouth-foaming rage... Audi entered the Quattro in rallying in early 1981, the first full season was 1982. Audi WON the constructor championship in 82. 83 was Lancia’s turn (with the 037 RWD model, largely thanks to the genius of Walter Röhrl), in 84 Audi was constructor…

No, in this case it would be “Schieb sie raus” (push them off). There’s two cases for ‘them’ in German...

When has VW or Audi ever done anything sporting or in any way admirable in racing?

Schieb, not scheib. That ‘ie’ thing seems to be pretty difficult for americans, considering how many times Bieber is being called ‘Beiber’...

Most posters obviously didn’t understand the task.

The 325e was NOT US specific. My dad had one here in Germany in the late 80s

That was not range. That was the most insane refuelling daisy chain in the history of military aviation.

The FWD design (Alfa 159 successor) started design way before Fiat bought Chrysler...

E-platform was longitudinally based for over 20 years (63-85), both for FWD and RWD applications. It needed a fundamental redesign to change over the tranverse engines starting in 86. I don’t understand your other argument. Of course a FWD and an AWD Audi A4 have the same platform, why shouldn’t they?

Yeah, probably the horn, the radiator, a few bolts and the entertainment system. So what?

Yes it does, especially if one car has the engine mounted East-west, the other north-south. Just compare the distance between the base of the A-pillar and the front wheels. There is no way the Giulia has anything to do with the 200.

Transverse FWD based AWD has nothing to do with RWD (longitudinal) architecture.
