Wow, great looking cars! The old guy sitting in the S8 is a painful reminder to me, though. Most of these cars will end up being owned by middle-aged white guys with upper management jobs, who only drive them as a status symbol. Most of these beautiful machines will never come close to being pushed to their performance limits. :(

Just wondering are you allowed to modify your licence plate? Like perhaps could you make a bad ass chrome backplate to put it on so it looks a little better?

Euro Licence plates are tight, NA one's really neeed to be redone to look more chique.

They're like the M's for the BMW's. The sporty kick ass versions.

No.

The S versions are like BMW Ms.

The RS versions are like M!!

Call me back in a year. ;)

As it stands, I'd still take an M5. I see old M5s driving around (from the 80s) I don't see ANY Audis driving around from the 80s...

Audi's weren't terribly popular in the 80's, but I've seen a few in the NYC metro area. They're kinda boxy looking, though.

Jesus christ. Is everyone having mental issues tonight?

Do they not understand that so many of the VW reliability problems come from the fact that the jettas and beetles are built in Mexico?

The Audis are definitely NOT.
