Everyone knows that Audi makes some REALLY nice vehicles.
Sexy exterior design and class leading interior quality is always a given with their products.
And its documented in almost every review about them.
But when it comes time to write the BOTTOM LINE of the review almost EVERY review says they like Audi but they found the vehicles heavier and slower than the competition.
And so they usually lose to BMW's.
Here is a PERFECT example of what I'm talking about in theis mont's Car & Driver...
In their review of the new A4 editor Mark Gillies said this and I quote:
"The latest A4 is a nice piece, but I found myself underwhelmed by it-as it happens with EVERY Audi I drive, even the R8"
It then goes on to say how nice the interior is and finishes with:
"But no matter how hard Audi tries to disguise it, the A4 is a nose heavy car and drives that way. When it comes to driver involvement, give me a Cadillac CTS over the A4"
Do you think he is being fair and do you agree that until Audi's drive like BMW's (or in this case the Caddy CTS), Audi cannot own the top seed in the space?
Are reviewers and customers really saying to Audi, give me a better looking BMW with nicer interior quality?
Let us know what you think...
