Default Potential New A4 Competitor???

Whatcha think? They're chippable to 250hp...when the S60R comes out it will be base 300hp, chip to almost 350 (from what I've heard - but somebody may know more on that subject).

Default Nice. Competition is good for all of us....
Each company though will target their buyer group. Hopefully Audi can keep making cars that we fall in love with.

Default Ummmmm, they suck?
They are like McDonalds.
Undefined quality, everyone gets mediocrity. Nothing excellent, nothing too terrible. Nothing to define them. But they can make a profit. Keep coming sheep....
