Pure sex. They've mixed all the best design features of their own marquee, Ford (Mustang), Bugatti (Veyron), Lamborghini (Gallardo), etc. Very well-done.

The pricing is kind of crazy, but given the work and technology that's in the car, I guess it's sort of to be expected.

Anyone else feel that Audi is quickly becoming what Porsche USED to be? It seems like these days, you pay for the name if you buy a P-car and you pay for the performance & quality if you buy an Audi.

On that note I test-drove a '02 TT Quattro Roadster today. Very impressed although it wasn't as fast as I expected. Very tight and good-feeling though. I'm debating dumping my 951 in favor of it. . . I'm sleeping on it for a couple of days before I commit to anything though. I'm damn impressed with what I saw in the Audi showroom though - very nice stuff.
