Whats the Audi model that loads of owners are taking to court because of it being a load of shit and breaking down all the time and not making the power it's supposed to?

Is it this one? Hence the death.

Welcome to the future!!!

Kind of following a steady trend, VW's dropped their V6 Golf, apparently the next M3's going back to 6 cylinder.

Big power tree killing V6/8's are going to be a thing of the past!!

Isn't the new M3 that is going to replace the E90 going to be turbo? Where did I read that?

Or was that the new M5? Fuck knows. Buy a Nova.

I know this is kinda off track, but; Speaking of killing RS4s, a client of Polished Bliss kinda killed hers. She also killed herself (twice), but she's alive and well(ish) now.

Random I know, but I was just reminded of this by the thread title.

yeah i know all the big engines are on the way out.. hence i bought the VXR8 now

Shame really cos the RS4 is a sweet car but a little overrated i think.

Last S4 wasnt much to get excited about tbh.

I think in 10yrs time you'll need to be spending in excess of 100k to get a car with a bigger petrol engine than a 2.5T. Its just the way car companies are heading due to governments.........due to eco pressures, due to tree huggers.

Although that new TT RS I posted about last week sounded like a little cracker, 340bhp 5 pot with sub 5 sec 0-60 time & 175mph top speed & also highly tuneable!! Lighter & better handling than anything before. Its maybe not all doom & gloom.

Still cant beat the roar of a V8 though.

Times are changing, it's sad yes but there are some damn cool 4/5/6 pots on the market now.

Look at the Mito for example - 1.4 litre with a turbo - 155bhp from the factory!

You've got to accept that there are better technologies out there than burning shit you've dug from a hole in the ground somewhere in a heavy lump of iron at 40% efficiency.

£40k if you burn the options list quickly without reading it!!

I'd have one in a second over what I have now, better performance, looks nicer & i'll bet much cheaper to run!!
