If you ever see anyone in a Mercedes E-Class or C-Class, you know that they completely fail at anything even remotely related to cars and possibly life itself. If you see someone in an M5, you know he/she knows what they are doing. I'm not sure that's a fair comparison. You wanna talk M series, you...

I know they have equivalent cars with similar prices and performance figures. For almost every car that BMW or Mercedes has, Audi has an equivalent to compete. In the end they're all German premium brands. But I still can't help myself from thinking Audi is just a notch below them. Maybe it's their ...

when you open the door of a car.. why do some doors come off with the whole door frame around the glass and others just open with the bottom part and just the glass. Ok maybe that was confusing here are some pictures http://pro.corbis.com/images/42-17535039.jpg?size=572&uid=%7B56CB0FE6-BDF6-4A9D...

It's true, they don't actually need it but they do need some kind of car to make people drool over. A car that puts Toyota in magazine covers and competes against the best and brightest. A car that makes big news every time a new model is announced. They may not need it per se, but it sure wouldn't ...

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly topics get off track around here

has no "omg I want it" car in it's model range? Most other brands do. Nissan has the GTR or the 350z Dodge has the Viper VW has the R32 Chevrolet has the Corvette Honda has the S2000 Pontiac has the Solstice Mazda has the Rx-8 Ford has the GT, hell maybe even the Shelby mustang. I could go...

I've read some auto blogs and they all bash VW for their unreliability. Now, I'm from Mexico and if there is ONE brand in the world for us that is synonymous with rock solid reliability, it's VW. Just to give you an example, the VW Beetle (old one) stopped being made in 2003. Yet today, you see thou...

Did all these brands have a meeting and decide it was the standard color from now on? Renault, BMW, Peugeot, MINI. They all decided to lit up their dashboards with the same exact orange on every.single.car. What is it about orange, really? Worst color for a dash IMO. Red looks so much sexier :lol: <...

Here's what I gathered The quickest version of the car sports a 200hp TSI engine with 280Nm of torque and completes the 0-100km/h dash in 7.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 235km/h, while still delivering an impressive fuel consumption figure of 31mpg (7.6L/100km) It also comes with DSG. Sounds ...

I mean I'm loving the car but I don't really see the point of it when you have a GTi already in there.

The seats though, are very love/hate. And in my case it's more towards hate. I still think the plain black leather seats look just fine.

It finally looks like the first one with that red lipstick at the front. It's also a great touch that the folks at VW kept the same rims but went from 17" to 18" just cause they're nice like that :wink: The backlights taken from the touareg (sort of) look much better than the last ones IMO...

Well.. before you flame me to hell and back let me just say I AM aware that you can't directly convert car prices from one country to another because there are various things to consider like currency rate, inflation percentage, consumer price index, gross domestic product of each country, etc (I kn...

the point is that the A6 is bigger than the A4 but smaller than the A8. think 3/5/7 series or C/E/S class. A6 = 5 = E. the middle cars of the 3 brands also let you step up to V8 power without having to get the high strung sport versions. I know that it is bigger and what its equivalents are, but to...
