Seems you need to follow your own advise:

You guys just don't get it, in Audiworld don't mention any three letter word unless you have your asbestos suit on.

I think fit and finish, hands down, Audi has the best interiors in the business, and you can simply feel the materials, they have a whole science department dedicated to the feel of materials in their car, that's why you don't see the cheap plastics that BMW likes to use.

Also, VAG actually is the king of luxury manufacturers, what you probably don't know is VAG owns more luxo car companies in the world, including Bentley (A8 actually and Bentley Coupe GT on same platform), Bhugatti (million dollar+ cars), Lamborghini, Audi, to name but a few ... although not in the US Volkswagon Auto is far more luxury minded in Europe and other markets. A few years ago, VAG intended Volkswagon Auto to take on Mercedes more directly in the luxo market, and move Audi to more performance oriented, now that plan has changed, Audi offers both, dependent upon the car, for example the new A8 is light years ahead of it's direct competitors new BMW 7 (came out this year) and MB S-Class. If you are talking about performance, for god's sake, Audi also produces 550HP Q7, basically an SUV with near 600HP, don't get it twisted Audi throws out performance. And since BMW no longer produces Z8 has nothing to compete Audi R8, and well VAG produces it most performance oriented cars out of Lambo and Bhugatti.

Hands down of the Big 3 General Luxury Auto manufacturers, though, BMW, MB, and Audi, I say for the last 10 years, Audi is the most innovative and #1. Things change, MB has gotten lazy, BMW has been getting cheaper and cheaper trying to sale more and it shows since the 90's, and Audi although, gaining more market share, I think they are #1 world wide, with huge sales in Asia #1. Hey, Toyota used to be the guys when it comes to quality, but again, to gain market share, and cut cost, they started getting lax. And they had internal memo's from engineers and assembly line workers explaining, we are cutting too many corners, they didn't listen, why because they were perceived #1 and only cared about bottom line. In the end, it's hard to stay at the top, if you don't keep doing the things that got you there.

the pipes are directly connected to the single large exit. Though the diameter increases, that can be easily explained by the technical impossibility of running a single gigantic pipe from the exhaust manifold.

I think that about sums it up, LP460 in fact, has real exhaust, and not this faux exhaust thing, kudos to VAG for keeping it real, with the Lambo's. I don't understand why VAG didn't do the same thing with Audi and R9?

Go with the S5 if your not gunna get the C63....335s are like *******s everyone has one. Personally although i love the S5 i would get the C63 its just something about that car. But the S5 of the 335 anyday and to be honest if i had a choice btwn the two the E550 over the 335 as well, but if you really wanna talk why not the E63 coupe?

there is a E63 COUPE?! I thought they only had the E63amg Sedan. Hmm, it would be so beast if the E63 did offer in the coupe. I have a question, what do you guys think about the M3? Just asking.
