15 grand a person!??!?!! That is almost as insane as the pricing they have to their “HPE____” Kits where they just bolt on some other companies components and then up charge you an insane amount...

But the value is now significantly lower to the point where i would owe more than i could get selling it. But because it is a lease I’m not effected by this drop in value.
I am on the same wavelength with that. Its fun and there are times I enjoy it but it can have its annoyances as well.
No doubting that the DSG’s in your S4 is a great trans. I test drove a few when i was shopping and I have no complaints. But for me It just had to be a manual. As cliche as that sounds.
My guess is that Audi isn’t stupid and they probably realized that sales from the B7 RS4 weren’t that lucrative so they didn’t bring it back for a B8.
I too currently own (lease) a 2014 S4 and I had every intention to buy it out after the lease (because of how the numbers worked etc) but then it got rear ended. It was repaired perfectly and drives just like it did brand new (only has 10,100 miles on it now anyways...) but i know for a fact that its actual resale…
There are still components on an electric vehicle that require air flow. Heat sinks for one. The A/C unit also requires air flow still to work...So its not useless at all. And as many said it keeps them resembling a “real car” so as to not turn off buyers who don’t necessarily want some weird crazy new car design.
Technically Dodge hasn’t always done this.....
Yea the first one they made was the cummins with a 6 speed version. I think they sold it for north of 300K....
I think you’re not really looking at the big picture here. I have lots of experience towing trailers. Big ones up to 42ft 5th wheels and little ones down to jet ski trailers. I’ve been doing it a while and have a pretty good handle on maneuvering a trailer. To me it is critical to “feel” the truck when reversing a…
But you should always be looking around when maneuvering a trailer. Sure some trailers are harder to back up and move around more and require more input, but you still want to be looking behind, in front, and all around your truck. Staring at a screen trying to drive the truck and trailer using a dot and a knob will…
Doesn’t matter how smart the system is....It can never see the back of the trailer, or any surroundings you may have. And what happens when your trailer is a camper or enclosed trailer and not a boat and you can’t see anything but a big white wall? Sure you put the sticker on it and maybe the system can “control” the…
Right, I understand that the system doesn’t make your mirrors disappear, but now you’re wanting drivers to watch a screen, and their mirrors, and use a joy stick, and be constantly moving their head around it seems like an unnecessary distraction.
I just don’t see how it is useful to stare at the trailer hitch and use that as a judge for where the trailer is actually going. Not to mention what others have said that it focuses the driver on a screen and not on obstacles around the truck / trailer. I would be terrified if I was on the launch ramp at the bottom…
This will only make backing up small trailers even harder. Think about it. You’re looking at the hitch, so the part of the trailer that “moves” the least amount. Not to mention that you are trying to “feel” the trailer through a knob on the dash so you won’t have any idea what is happening. Next the knob has such a…
The issue is that this forces the driver to watch the screen on the infotainment system instead of checking his surroundings. The screen is pretty useless anyways because it shows you the HITCH and not the end of the trailer. Even in the video its a terrible example because by the time you saw water in the screen you…
I’ll post what I posted on Oppo here as well.

The particulate filter is not synonymous with like an air filter or an oil filter. It is like a catalytic converter. The interval to change one isn’t going to be like once a year or every couple years...They are designed to last just as long as catalytic converters do now...
