Actually.....I would really like to see the RS6 in the states :)




Also for people that like black cars...I hope your not lazy. Black is one of the hardest cars to keep clean. I dusted the car 3 times yesterday and the car looks dirty again this morning. If your a lazy person get a metallic silver color....low maintence :)

Very nice..:D

Probably a little more expensive than the '98 Corolla I should be getting, though ;)

Hoooooooooooooooly crap!!! :Q :Q :Q :Q That is one insanely beautiful car- you made a great choice. A black/black A4 is in the top 3 list of dream cars right now and I'd do anything to get one. I won't give you flak on the automatic since it's soooooo beautiful. :) Tiptronic is still way cool though. I saved all your pics for drooling later.

Geez I can't wait until I graduate and get a job. :(

Wow, that's one awesome ride dude!

I almost picked up a '99 BMW 323iC at that same dealership. My only gripe with it was the color: red w/brown (leather) interior... and it didn't help it was priced a few thousand dollars out of my league. :p

"Settled" for my blue (w/gray leather inside) '98 w/about the same mileage at a dealership a good 20 miles or so down the I-5. Still loved the Porsche showroom at McKenna though... :D

One thing is for sure: having test-driven the Audi before, driving this car daily, and having the pleasure to "borrow" my mother's '93 Jag XJ6 at almost anytime, I can seriously say the Euros have got things right. Plenty of power on hand, a pleasurable ride, and always a profound driving experience. :)

Misc. car fan-boys notice: The above is not saying other car-makers have this, or other things wrong, mmmkay? ;)

What are those three covered holes on the bumper ?

(One under each headlight, one one off to the right side of the car )

Headlight washers. Don't know what the third one is for but most german cars have it.

Not gonna swear to the third one but I believe it is a place to mount the tow hook.

the audi is just expensive rice.

Jealous???

The I35 is junk compared to the A4. Same for the ES300. The only thing that compares to the A4 is the G35, 3-Series, and IS300.

why are you hating on the I35? why are you even COMPARING those two cars? I would MUCH rather have a I35 than a A4.. oh well.. im a maxima nut.. so sue me.

dont get me wrong.. the A4 is a sweet / dope / awesome car... its just my preference for more space and luxury than sportyness...

sometimes i feel 40

I believe you're right Yakko.... it is a mount for the tow hook... I've never used mine (or even looked @ it) but I think thats what the manual says...

I agree. To each his own. I've driven my friends A4, and its nice. But not more than nice. I actually prefer my 92 Maxima in every way. Its got more power, and handles almost as good (after handling mods :)).
