A4 becuase it's Audi, and Audi is awesome... and it's awesome because it has quatrro, and quattro is awesome.

Now put some new wheels on it, lower it... there you go, now you have a very nice car.

here's something out of left field... what about a 2009 cadillac 3.6L CTS SIDI AWD?

i just did quick google: http://autos.yahoo.com/2009_cadillac_cts_3.6l_sidi_awd/

i thought i saw a 1/2 page ad (dueck GM?) in the vancouver sun on sale for $39-40k for an old stock 2009 (i think they are clearing it out for 2010 models?).

Definately Audi..

is250 awd is the biggest pile of shit i've ever driven..

it struggles to climb up garglardi on my test drive (with only two people in the car), and the engine is LOUD and THRASHY... A 4cylinder TSX makes a more pleasant 'noise' when the engine is under heavy load..

WRONG.

Audi are for Cocks.

Lexus are for Boring people.

Don't you watch Top Gear?


My opinion, get a Lexus because its probably more reliable. If you wish to sell the car after a few years then get an Audi cuz you can chip the damn thing and run overboost. Fried your turbo a lot quicker but its the next owner's problem right?

What he said. Depends on what your plan for the car is. If you plan on financing/buying it out right and keeping it for a while, I'd go for the Lexus for the reliability. I like the Audi more, but they are known for being unreliable. If you are leasing, go for the Audi.

LED looks good on R8, and maybe A4 for a while, but now they are putting it on A6, Porches,.and other ricer cars,..... its starting to look like the time when we had "Spinners" chrome rims. or the Altezza tail lights.
