Sign me up!

Seriously though, that much power plus AWD in a car that small sounds like a helluva lot of fun!

Great now we're going to have sorority girls crashing into everything faster.

I kid.

Needs 300+ before I'll even consider.

Sorority girls get basic 1.8T, FWD models, or Jettas...

So close, yet so far!

Fun fact: that is exactly the same power output as my g-pa's DTS V8. That car is quick. This thing is 1500lbs lighter, and does not have a transmission designed to keep old folk's dentures in. It ought to be a tiny pocket rocket.

That almost does it for me. But no, not quite. Some of that is Audi's reputation though.

Not sorority girls with really rich parents

I still find it kind of meh

Electric power steering

I think the engine is mounted transverse

It's pretty much a sedan version of a Euro hot hatch

Except it will cost a lot more

This'll be absolutely awesome.

Sorority girls with really rich parents get the Evoque.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Manuél Ferrari
08/02/2014 at 18:28

Well then they just get an A4.

Manuél Ferrari > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
08/02/2014 at 18:28

Haha true

Then when they graduate they marry rich guys and get the Range Rover Sport

Kinja'd!!!

"Here's your first car, baby. What? You wanted something better? Well tough tanned testicles. You aren't going to use everything I worked hard to get just to impress your friends. I'll make you a deal; You can get a $40k A3 instead with your own money and credit, and I will match you zero dollars."

I test drove an S4 once. I hated it.

It felt like being in a video game. The steering was so artificial. Everything was numb and digital.

I better not test drive the new M4. If it feels like a current Audi I will be sad.

Did GM stick with hydraulic power steering in the ATS? The ATS-V excites me more than the new crop of Euro sedans.

The ATS has electric steering, but it's been tuned very well apparently.

That is one sexy Buick

Hey! I like the Sport! Don't you insult my future trophy wife!

Manuél Ferrari > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
08/02/2014 at 18:33

Interesting. Can't wait to see the ATS-V!

Manuél Ferrari > sm70- why not Duesenberg?

Haha

(shhh, I like it too. Don't tell anyone on here!)

Did you not have rich kids at your college?

I had to park my Mercury behind the srat house because it wasn't an Audi, Bimmer, or Benz :P

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > yamahog
08/02/2014 at 18:43

Being in high school, I don't know what kids go to my college yet. Lol.

yamahog > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
08/02/2014 at 18:49

Ohhhh, so you actually know nothing about what sorority women drive, yet you seemed so sure of yourself. Cute!

yamahog > PS9
08/02/2014 at 18:52

Hahaha, that's precious. For every one of those parents, seems like there were 100 like my ex's dad, who refused to have his boys drive anything less than a BMW. Didn't you know kids are just another way to show off your new money?

A nice jetta. thats about all it is.

a faster , nicer Jetta

I was making a joke. I'm sorry I apparently offended you..

PS9 > yamahog

"Nothin' but the best for my kids. BMWs because they deserve it."

Sounds like an excellent way to raise a bunch of entitled twats who won't put in the dues needed to reap actual success without mommy and daddy's help. Excellent skill set for the coming era of limited resources and employment opportunities.

Admittedly, this isn't an issue if you've got 10s or 100s of millions and don't have an issue with trust fund baby syndrome.

yamahog > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
08/02/2014 at 19:03

Not offended, just being a sarcastic bitch ;) everyone thinks they know everything in high school.

PS: in a house of over 150... Not one Jetta.

yamahog > PS9
08/02/2014 at 19:09

My ex, miraculously, is a nice person. His younger brothers..... Yea, entitled twats.

step 1: buy a low milage 70s or 80s model BMW or Benz

Step 2: laugh at the newer cars always having wiring and valvetrain/transmission issues

Step 3: drive your perfectly reliable German car to their GF's house

Step 4: fuck their bitch

Step 5: get money (not via prostitution )

yamahog > treesmakewater
08/02/2014 at 19:30

LOL. Not worth the hassle in college considering the Mercury was still running and I had the Ninja for senior year, and I'm pretty sure I was the only one in my sorority house to have a girlfriend. Yes, you read that correctly.

08/02/2014 at 19:34

Or buy an early 2000s Audi and pray that nothing breaks during the semester. (Don't, its not fun)

PS9 > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
08/02/2014 at 20:18

Man what is it with the old people and that DTS? I see like 5 of those a day (Florida, derp) and 100% of the time, an old person is driving it

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > PS9
08/02/2014 at 20:34

The fact that is a huge, comfy, domestic luxury barge? I didnt realize there was any question as to why they like it. If there is any car made in the last 5 years that was aimed solely at people over 70, the DTS is it.

you SHOULD drive the M4 as it isn't anything like an Audi. I had the same worries and they were quickly extinguished.

Niiiiiiiice

Thank you BMW for not cloning Audi

It's just unfortunate that it has front-biased Haldex, which outweighs basically any potential positive aspects of the car.
