Although, I really don't fit in the Jaguar, I love Jaguars

S4cabriofox Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Luxury Car Showdown Nobody goes to this forum anymore... Why would you put the A8 in last? My order: 1. S550 2. A8L 3. 750Li 4. LS460L 5. XJ8L That's not to say any of them are bad cars, though... all of them are so sweet, being in "last" in this company is an accomplishment, also. Simply being considered! | |||||

I want to like Audi I really do, they make some great cars but something about them just does not have that X factor for me, I dunno why. | |||||

AsianML Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Luxury Car Showdown Marsden - 4/14/2007 7:57 PM To me, Audi's are generally a little understated and conservative with their styling, although most say the opposite is true with their new grille styling. Whatever. The grille doesn't make the car.^^^ I agree exactly... I respect the Audi and I think they're near perfect. But something is missing. Pizzazz..
Although it's commonly "reported" that Audi's have dead steering feel. I think. | |||||

Marsden Classic MB Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Capital City USA Vehicle(s): Mercedes-Benz | RE: Luxury Car Showdown I dunno,.., I've driven Audis and I'd say they're unassailable. But I hate the buck-tooth grilles, same as with the new VWs. Everyone's trying to appear all "aggressive" n sh*t | |||||

AsianML Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Luxury Car Showdown I don't think the big grille makes it aggressive at all. There aren't any dramatic curves or lines in the Audi. It's very...German looking. Looks as tank like as the W126 or W140 looked like. | |||||

AsianML Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Luxury Car Showdown Marsden - 4/14/2007 8:06 PM BTW, I think part of that has to do with the buyer's market decreasing in age every year. That, and old farts are trying to look younger and cooler. I dunno,.., I've driven Audis and I'd say they're unassailable. But I hate the buck-tooth grilles, same as with the new VWs.
