Here is a short list:

1) Too heavy.

2) Front wheel biased AWD system

3) Poor weight distribution.

But I will give you this about Audis, They look GREAT on paper and pictures. Good engineering work, and alot of marketing dollar backing it up right now.

Now thats a nice looking VW Jetta!

2007 M3 will obviously destroy that "competition"

Who wants a fast 4 door sedan anyways? What are you going to do, take the kids to soccor practice in under 4.8 seconds?

Hey, what do you want me to say?
It's my opinion, and if I explain it I am going to piss people off, have this thread closed by our admin and it would not lead anybody to buy a BMW instead of AUDI.

Ppl have different opinions, here is mine: AUDI sux! Plain and simple.

I agree!
Completely soulless products IMO!

My Ride: 2010 E63 AMG -- Palladium Silver/Black. Love this car but looking to switch things up to keep things fresh. 2nd AMG in a row, but toying with coming back into the BMW fold!

I hear everyone's BMW loyalty coming through loud and clear, but you have to give Audi credit for the first mover advantage regarding the first 3 series / C class / A4 model sized car to hit the 400+ HP mark.

Also, for those of us that live in colder climates, AWD is a very nice feature to have for winter high performance handling and safety.

Just an objective "alternative" viewpoint...

P.S. I still can not get over the horrible "big mouth" grill and "wimpy" tail lights on the new Audi model, though.

I think Audi makes a terrific car, and this one looks pretty dang good. With a weight/power ratio of 3.93 kg/hp this is very close to M5 territory. 0-200 kph in 16.6 seconds is quicker than the RS6. I have to give Audi credit for pushing BMW. Competition is a good thing!
