not political

I think the R8 GT3 racer and the RSQ are cool.

You can't beat Audis for build quality and reliability . . .

With his Audi detection skills, I expect Jim C to join us shortly.

I'm a big fan of the new C63 AMG.


And the Alfa 8C is the most beautiful new car you can buy.

Matt, that Alfa snoot is a bit more than I can take. Sorry.

Ha! If it goes fast enough, you can't see its physical shortcomings!

Chuck Norris was driving an Audi on the autobahn one day, when he realized that it would be faster to get out and run.

Seriously, the R8 GT3 looks cool but that other thing looks like a cheap boom box shaped kinda like a car.

Moot point, nothing is faster than Chuck Norris.

Jim, that sounds like the same argument guys use for hooking up with fat chicks.

The RSQ was what Audi Design cranked out for the movie "I, Robot." I'd love to see electric cars that look like that (without the skirts and the rear window louvers), so long as they aren't built by Audi.

I'll also contend that the new M3 is somewhat blah looking. The few around town need a second look to confirm that they're not a 335i.

Matt, I personally like the fact that the styling is subtle. Granted, a touch "blah" but its not in-your-face like other halo cars.
