I’m not a fan of the front ends. Looks nice otherwise. ---

I had tiptronic on my previous ALLROAD and it just shifted when it wanted to anyway. Way to scare the shit out of a driver, shift in a turn.:smash2: ---

looks great but it got too bloated and heavy compared to the original intent of the A4/4000cs quattro from which it came. we need more mininalist car companies who offer more of what is needed (power and a good stiff chassis) and less of what is not (sound deadening, ridiculous amounts of safety crap) 🙂 Brian ---

I got to drive this car at Pocono race track for the Audi drive experience about a month ago. It was very nice, they did a great job with the steering in this car. I also got to beat the shit out of the BMW, MB, and Lexus competitors. ---
