Default I would sooner prefer a weight loss war over a power war....

Audi needs to get a bunch of their cars on diets, they're going the way of mercedes benz in terms of weight and thats not good. Elvis was still the king but he was one fat dude at the end of his life... Weight loss versus hp gain helps on many fronts. Weight loss improves handling and steering responce, braking, (dont need 15" rotors) it also gets your out of trouble with the gas guzzler tax. (cough cough v8 s4...no offense to you b6'ers) Oh and your accel times improve with lower weight. The elise should be an example to all sport sedan makers as a lesson in low weight over high hp. Since B7 is already out, the B8 S4 should have higher hp then its A4 brother but it should have about 600 pounds less in weight. That can be done pretty easily with lighter materials, aluminum body etc.

Default Lawyers are the brunt of all jokes :) requiring a flame suit, but normally settling for...

a three piece, double breasted, or two button, preferrably Italian . Actually, I am a big fan of Hugo Boss.

I am glad that you like the article

Where are your facts? Subaru equips their cars with one of the best AWD systems out there.

Default nitch... Makes sense counselor, thanks for the free advice, was I right about...

the incorrect application of the use of Copyright? Statute requires that the entity be listed after the Copyright? I am a little rusty.

Thanks for the legal advice ;-)

Yes I am aware, that's why the AWD is sort of a sidenote.
