Good points, but it is a carbureted turbo with an automatic. Turbos are not easy to tune without computer control, and you need to throw in huge amounts of gas to keep knock away.

Also, hwy 224 along the Clackamas river, corvallis-waldport, and laps around Mt. St. Helens on the WA side of things.

Yeah, but copying a color doesn't count.

Word to that.

The US doesn't deserve diesel sports cars. We're too one dimensional. I don't think a diesel option 'dilutes' anything, as long as the cars are fun to drive for their intended purpose. What has diluted the brand are the buyers in the US. Why is it you have to get an M5 to get a third pedal in a 5 series?

It's sad we won't see this car in the US. It isn't the fault of the enthusiast, but the overwhelming majority of boring consumers who populate this country. When it is more important to buy a car for status, not function, even Audi gets watered down. When my wife and I bought her 2008 A4 last January, we wanted CPO…

S4 only had a V8 in B6/B7 bodies. Shitty mileage, the new V8 should do better with FSI.

There's no 'like' button here "(

Does it smell like buttsex?

How much power is drawn when the car isn't being driven? I would think a few amps could sneak through a 100' extension cord at 110V.

I used to think that about Audi and their S/RS cars...

I like these cars too much to not say fuck yes. I bought a Biturbo A6 6MT with 90k on it years ago, now it's got 176k with no issues. I must have good carma, so this one can't hurt me too bad.

Is Jalopnik trolling? ;)

Drag racing is about as boring as masturbation, even though it usually lasts longer ;)

That's a really great way to put it!

It's a good thing Russian drivers never change lanes unexpectedly without checking their mirrors...

But you miss out on all the sensory minutiae from the shifter and clutch pedal. And added control over that "handling balance," as you call it via weight transfer.

And generally more fun! Don't forget that part.

Time and space are one. You are correct, and must have had a good course in special relativity?

It's not an Apple product, so iModo hates it.
