just to chime in... nice car. do wish the hatch/wagon was the body form though... I find the s/a4 not that big so this just seems kind of an odd position... the hatch really set it apart from it's stablemates... but I guess they are just going to let vw have that look/functionality. I just don't understand a brand that doesn't have a huge number of models have a few that are so close to each other.
anyway, still would take one in a heartbeat. the mustang comment... no point in saying anything there.
the q5 stuff earlier... I was talking to a friend of mine at an audi store and he said they are losing tonnes of customers to the macan... they all seem to look at it as <5000 more for a Porsche? sure audi is now a brand to be proud of at the golf club, but not as proud as a Porsche... i'm not sure on the actual pricing, but that's what he told me... and their owner has both brands, so he probably doesn't want them to try and sway the customer otherwise...
anyway... nice car. not what I would buy, but I wouldn't be buying any of these new small performance sedans... just not practical enough for me to have the four doors... if i'm sacrificing space and all that, just give me a coupe.
