The "I just saw a...." thread

Sometimes power isn't everything.

Well isn't that one part of the crazy sport sedan equation?

[Kitdy]

What do you think it'd be like owning one of those cars in North America, where the speed limits are low? It'd be cool to have one of them, but you can't really stretch its legs out. It'd be a constant frustration I think, not being able to use that power as it was intended for.

One thing is for sure though, merging from an on-ramp to the highway would be amazing.

Failmatic or failcar? Though decision.

I'd probably go for the Mad Merc.

But limit it to only IS-F and RS4, then what would you chose, not having driven either?

I haven't driven any Lexus, but I have driven several Audis. I can only imagine the RS4 would be about the same with more speed. The main problem with the Lexus is the failbox, the main problem with the Audi is the whole car.

So if I really had to choose one I'd probably get the Lexus. And then I'd sell it and get something else.

I'd rather have the Datsun than any Audi or Lexus.

EDIT And I've just seen a 2CV on original plates and matching elderly owner at the petrol station.

But surely you would choose any Audi over public transport?

Bycicle?

Bycicle?

No, no, no - leave bicycle out of this. Bicycle represents freedom of movement.

I mean public transport as a bus full of annoying commuters. A bus that is never on schedule. You know, frustrating sort of transportation that will ruin your day.

Well I guess I'd have to drive an Audi then...

But only because I hate public transport even more.

Me thinks it's the soundtrack. It sounds like the god of thunder.

and it finally looks good. they got away from the blah designs that plagued them for ages. its got some style and some aggression, and it works. and they also dusted off their manual transmission.

fun at ANY speed, lol.

i actually quite like the RS4. it's not that bad, for an audi it's damn good. i haven't driven the m3 so can't comment. but it's quite fun.
