I haven’t the foggiest idea either.

I think every other S model Audi currently makes would beg to differ. S3, (upcoming) 5, 6, 8 and the R8 all come with only automatics. Though I believe the S5, like the S4, may be available with a stick in the future.

The S4 is similarly priced to the 335i/340i... It is Audi’s version of the same car, and has been for years. The RS4 is the actual M3/4 competitor.

You could make the same argument about just about any new version of the same car. BMW’s F30 335i (now 340i) was/is no faster than the E90 version was, but there are upgrades in other areas buyers want. Same goes for the Audi. Virtual Cockpit, upgraded interior and tech, more power, whether it results in significantly…

2nd: Barra’s claim counters an estimate by Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas, who said in a February report that GM and Ford Motor Co. need U.S. consumers to buy 13 million to 14 million vehicles to break even.

...upgraded version of Pilot Assist, which will now work at highway speeds without the need of a lead vehicle.

Bastard.

Only on the internet will you find people defending someone who would intentionally run another person off the road. Douchebags.

I think Yelp is a great tool as a consumer. Why should businesses get away with being shitty? They should lose profits if people consistently have bad experiences.

CP at any price. I’m sure anyone else who’s owned a Cougar will agree.

The use of shoddy parts would explain why half the cars tested in C/D barely outperformed the factory versions, if at all.

Not gonna hit play in a bathroom stall, but AC/DC, I assume?

YESS!!!!! GO RICCIARDO!

For real, though.

This.

I’ve got a bad back, but got tired of using that as an excuse to avoid deadlifting and squatting. So I just started doing both with lighter weight (around 80lbs) to build my back up, and make sure I can maintain proper form. It doesn’t challenge my legs as much as I’d like, but once my back is strong enough to hold…

“Ryan” sounds like he could use a swift punch in the face.

For real, though. I’ve never faced a situation like the one discussed. Then again, I make more money than most of my friends, who either have BAs in English/Anthropology or graduated too recently to be completely on their feet yet. Which means most of the time it’s me who’s being “generous” and I’m not the sort of…

This is why you should always have mostly bums for friends.

Depends on whether by first car you mean first car ever or like first car out of college. Not many parents can afford an extra $255/mo and I don’t think any 16 year olds can. But I suppose a fair amount of recent college grads can, depending on their student loan debt..
