What a ****ing joke. If Jeep can sue Hummer for their front grill design, surely Audi can do something about that.

The window line and rear quarter window is the dead giveaway.

I swear VW rims designs are very similar to ford designs (mostly older of each).

Default Yup VW/Audi designer left and went to ford. This is very true. Who designes the cars for Audi now.

Hes on crack making some of our cars look the way they do. Also another give away is the way the rear arm slops down into the qp. and look at thouse mirrors. The interior gets even worse. Also thouse rims do look very Audi A4 B5, well except bigger.

Default I saw the car for the first time on Motorweek the other day, If ford gave it another 50 HP...

i'd buy it. Alot of people at work drive Tauruses, and while im pulling mine in the garage every other weekend to fix something, their cars, just keep going and going, needing nothing but oil changes. Its not the first time ive posted this on here, but I'll say it again, I think my next vehicle will be American. My Evaporator went 2 weeks ago, in the middle of Florida wet and humid season, that SUCKS!!! ****, my wife's "unreliable" by most peoples reports Grand Caravan, has been in the shop like twice. I dont know, I could be just mad cause my Evaporator, but we'll see...

Default I never understand arguments like yours....

It's an old German car...did you think you would buy it and have a trouble free ownership. I like them because of their driving feel, clean lines/look, interior quality, and I just love them. Most American cars I've been in and driven certaintly lack this.
