i was reading through autoblog's coverage of the frankfurt autoshow on the train today. wild stuff out there. apparently, i'm a fan of big german
sedans and wagons, cause by the time i got home, those were the page i had kept open to look closer at. (and the new sonata).
i'd be stoked to have any of these, but that audi wagon is blowing me away. damn, i love station wagons.
I've had a hard on for Audi's every since I saw Ronin as a kid.JawnDiablo - 9-18-2009 at 08:20 AM
while I was in Media last weekend I saw this Audi 2 door sports coupe that just looked amazing. I never saw one on the road before. It wasn't the TT,
but something new.....ahhhh to have expendible money......ShawnRefuse - 9-18-2009 at 10:23 AM
I enjoy looking at Audis but don't think I'll ever afford one. BDx13 - 9-18-2009 at 10:27 AM
barcode...
i hear ya on the ronin reference.
that wagon in the last pic is diesel, suppoed to get 35mpg.
that car is just beautiful.
damn,i love a wagon!
juan...
if not the TT, then likely the R8.
they start at like $115k, but are apparently a great value at that price ('least expensive supercar' kind of thing.)
saw a TON of them in London - literally dozens.

i think that's it.
damn that thing is cool looking.
i bet it is fast as hell too.
i always wanted to test drive an Acura NSX....they just looked sick.
I beleive thats what Mr Wolf was driving in Pulp fiction...maybe
I don't think they make them anymore.BDx13 - 9-18-2009 at 10:53 AM
shawn, think 'pre-owned'!
juan, for your friday...
v10, 525hp, all-wheel drive.
0-62 in 3.9 seconds
196 mph.
this is essentially the same engine that;s in the Lamborghini Gallardo.

I was looking at getting the Dodge Challenger SRT8, but I have to say all this Audi talk has got me thinking otherwise. The R8 is a nice car, but I
have to say the sickest car they make is the Audi W12, the car from the Transporter.

I am rocking a sick Honda Element so we can fit our gear for gigs. haha. Insurance and all that is too much for two cars, so, for now. I am going to
rock the toaster. BDx13 - 9-18-2009 at 11:08 AM
MM, what does the dodge go for? like $40k US, right? I think that's the best looking of the current American retro cars.
admit it, you only want the w12 for the fridge between the back seats!

I kinda dig these, and a used one would be within reach for me someday:
Audi A3

You can get those Dodges for as low as $36 000 used. And I am talking the SRT model as well. They are a bit more in Canada, but with the dollar these
days it makes sense to bring one up from the USA.
And yes the fridge in the back of the W12 is a very appealing feature.

the audi a3 is awesome.
it's is at the top of my 'obtainable' list - used, they can be had for around $15k here.
i test drove a used s line version about a year ago w/ the paddle shifters.
definitely fun to drive.Dave - 9-18-2009 at 03:30 PM
A3 - 15K used down there!
holy fuck... i really should have gone to the states and bought a car last fall...
I ended up spending around 25k for my VW. which i am happy with, but.......BDx13 - 9-18-2009 at 03:47 PM
not gonna get the s line for $15k, but many of the '06s and some '07s definitely are.BKT - 9-18-2009 at 03:48 PM
When the dollar was on par with Canada my girl and I bought a Audi Q7 SUV from the States and paid 36k for it. The same car was selling in Canada for
anywhere between 58k to 65k. If you really look and put some time into it you can find crazy deals on cars.
