Default Are US Audi's having a hard time against rivals?

In the UK the Audi range bar the A8 and TT is having a hard time against rivals such as the Good ol' Golf and even the Ford Focus! The A6 especially is trailing the field and hasn't won a single road test in the motoring magazines. The looks and value(compared to rivals) are what keeps it alive. The A4 is still, on rare occasions, winning road tests but it is now behind the competition.
Is this a problem in the States?

I just want to know about Audi in the US. I suppose you can't swallow the fact that Audi aren't the best car manufacturer around so you spend all day on the AudiWorld site saying Audi is the best in the world, Audi are great, no one can beat Audi and so on.<p>Haseeb Ali

Default You sound like a troll (more)

What are you talking about?

The Allroad just won the comparison that Car did recently against the Volvo Cross-Country and the Subaru Forester Turbo.

I've seen several good reviews on the S6 and lots of good reviews on the RS4.

The British car magazines seem to completely ignore reliability, ease of obtaining service and parts, etc. I guess that's why Alfa does well in the comparisons.

Point me to a review where the magazine prefers a Focus over an Audi. Which Audi?

The Focus is preffered over the A3 and the British mags don't do all the things you stated.
As you can see I am trying to be as polite as possible.<p>Haseeb Ali
