Wagon Stoke

On the one hand I’m kinda sick of Audi’s newer styling already, but on the other hand I struggle to think of a better looking / across the board lineup at any other manufacturer.

It’s really hard to knock em, especially when you compare them to the hideous mess that BMW is anymore, the missionary position lineup of SUVs for
Mercedes, and Lexus’ full lean-in on the predator grille.

That e-Tron GT is the best looking EV (Taycan close second) out there.

That's kinda where I'm at with things. I can't tell if I'm resigning myself to ugly faux ginormous grills or adjusting to the times. At least they're not doing what BMW's doing.

However, even with the questionable front end design, I'd still totally drive one. The REST of the car looks great IMO. Sort of a butterface, eh?

Agreed. Best of the bunch for sure.

Agree

It's only a concept, but...

[BmillsSkier]

That looks fantastic.

Where's the shamrock shield though?

[liv2ski]

Never to come to our shores

[Timberridge]

I was also wondering where the handle was for the rear doors, but yeah--that needs a Quadrifoglio treatment.

If I had to guess they're probably those round electronic release buttons at the bottom of the C pillar.


Speaking of shields, I saw these on a V90 in traffic the other day and was very amused.

Prancing Moose stickers are an important mod. My wife won't let me put one on her car :shrug:

[BmillsSkier]

There's a guy here in town with an RS6Avant with a badge delete except for the "RS" on the rear decklid and this next to it:



I kinda want to tell him nice work if I ever get the chance.

[simple]

Yeah another corporate hippie sell out. Congrats

Let me know when you see a Juggalo sticker on a RS6 then I'll know they came from the bottom for real

A little voice inside my head said “don’t look back, you can never look back”

Technically, it's a magnet

Lol.

Should I scream “NAME 5 SHOWS!!!” at him next time I see him?

Bwahahaha

Only 3 hours remaining to get in your final bids on Doug's RS2!

Common' resident TGR dentists...

$92,000. Less than $1 for every mile its driven.

[MontuckyFried]

$92,000. Less than $1 for every mile its driven.

Not bad. I'm a bit surprised it didn't crack $100K, but that's still one heckuva high number.

[simple]

It was tough to read all that Daddy Doug nut swinging. The hiAce selling for $6500 was telling. Used market for affordable stuff is softening. Rich people cars just like rich people houses are still on the rise. Although the Porsche Panamera wagon sold for a lot less than expected.

Didn't the Panamera wagon (hybrid I think if it's the one I looked at) have high miles though?

And yeah, it's hard to read Doug's schtick without hearing his voice in your head and that annoying cadence of his.

[simple]

More likely the 4 owners. First owner put on 53k miles in just under 3 years. It's a highway cruiser.

The prices on the good cars are still high or even going up but the beaters and marginal stuff are finally going down (a little bit). Because new cars are more readily available 3 year leases are finally being turned in so at least there are good, relatively new used vehicles available again but they are not a good deal unless you can get a CPO deal.

My wife also was not having the prancing moose mod on her Volvo.

Jokes on her because I'm going to Polestar that thing next time she's out of town.

[BmillsSkier]

Lol. Try pointing out all the approving nods from other enthusiasts she’s missing out on.

[Aldo]

It’s getting better looking, eh simple?

Finally got this sorted with suspension work and I’m starting to really like this one. Fits like a heated leather glove from the driver seat, perfectly dampened and correct rubber pushing a healthy 5 cyl turbo, transferring from Conestoga wagon to freight train status.
