Default Frankfurt motor show

I plan to visit the Audi stand at the Frankfurt motor show next weekend. Does anyone have any suggestions on interesting questions I should be asking.

Sorry I don't own a digital camera.

Default Remember to say hello to my girlfriend...

Hey Paul:
My girlfriend will be there too. Please say hello to her if you see her there.
Remember to take a couple of RS4 brochures and on-sale on Ebay, you will surely become millionaire by then. Also, remember to take all the photos from RS4 (of course), S2, all the Audis, Volkswagens and even the new M3.
Also, please purchase a couple of S3, S4 Avant, RS4 and A2 before you are going to sale them on Ebay. Another reason you don't have to buy lottery!! JUST KIDDING.
If you are at VW stand. Ask those guys why we don't have 24V V6 Bora and GTI. Where's the 4Motion AWD in our Golf, Jetta and Passat. If you can, please help me get a Lupo, Polo, Bora and GTI V6 brochures. If you can get it, I will pay both your mail and brochures.

Default The answer is simple . . . . product differentiation . . . just one more way to get

the general public to "upgrade" to an Audi.

Also, from a quality perspective, I've spoken with more than one VW owner who has had problems with his/her car at around 29 months . . . . hmmmm . . . .wonder why that is?

Default I disagree..

actually, the VW warranty is two or three steps below the Audi. first, the Audi is 3/50 with all maintenance included. The VW is 2/24 with out the maintenance. The middle ground is a 3/36 warranty, just like the japanese cars. Not infringing on Audi, but still competing with Honda and Toyota, just like we know they are trying to do. Forget that Piech wants to "aim VW squarely at Mercedes"... without a warranty, I believe they will always be behind the Japanese in sales.

Default The VW 2/24 has maintenance included, just not much needed in that timeframe...

VWs made in Mexico are crappy quality compared to German made machines... 2/24 is probably a cost effective policy more than "marketing" brands...

You get what you pay for... unless its a BMW... then you pay for name/image...

Tellin' it like it is, but politically correctness is just a fancy way of saying "Since your are such a puss and can't handle the brutal realities of life, we have dressed up and danced around the real issues so you can walk around in your sugar coated world, always seeing your reflection in your black patent shoes, instead of the spit and blood from that so-called "friendly" neighbor who actually, unbeknown to you, has one of those notorious colorful titles, like, Grand Dragon...

Hey! Well that's just an outright lie! (by the way...my hair look ok?)

Seriously, you guys get your S4's and I'll get my M3 and we'll go autocrossing and I'll show ya what *I* paid for (grin)
