I like the retro wheel arch look of past Audis, but more people will think Mitsubishi/Subaru than Audi. And I guess Audi has put their LED hi/lo headlamp idea to the side. Guess we have to wait until the new A8 comes out. And an easy 700+ looks attainable with this engine if not more.

The point is, unlike the turbocharged Audis, the Honda doesn't have much torque - diagnosticator1 2007-09-07 00:45:43 (156 views)
