Default LMAO "I carry homemade salad dressing to work in a glass jar"

Warren does not like commercials, he likes to "scroll"!

Little Warren does not like the floormats. His footsies dont stay put!

Poor little Warren gets confused with the switches.

Oooo, tisk tisk, Warren has a heavy foot!

Warren went to Rancho Koo-KA-Mun-Ga!! (always wanted to say that)

Warren likes the red lights!!!

well, isn't Warren special?

Warren IS A FARKING idiot who apparantly has no writing skills of his own..LOL

I think I understand what they're saying regarding the 3.0 CVT transmission because I think mine acts the same way. They're not really saying the engine is underpowered, but like they said it has "unpredictable power delivery" in stop and go situations. I agree with them. For instance, sometimes when I stomp suddenly on the throttle, the car sometimes delivers just average power. And sometimes when I slowly press the throttle as gently as I can, the car surges foward abruptly with a tremendous amount of power. Like they mentioned, it's easy to spin the front wheels unintentionally. This appears more like more an electronic program clich, rather than an engine power deficiency.

I always thought that you could only get a CVT with the 1.8, Guess I was way off.

You can't get a 3.0 *quattro* with a CVT. Still not robust enough to handle the drivetrain stresses.

Default Am I missing something? Link doesn't work.

I get sent to the Edmunds New Car Pricing page. In the long-term tests page, it says that the A4 article was updated 2/1, but in the article itself, it says December 2002.

What's the deal?
