Are you getting the Zunsport or Mishimoto grille? I'm still considering a G80, but I vacillated long enough that I'm going to wait for the MY2025.

Same color combo I would choose (I assume that's Skycraper). Are you going to get a grille to protect the oil cooler?

I've never had a flat tire or bent wheel from a pothole. If I lived in an area with widespread potholes, I'd probably give up on performance vehicles and drive an SUV with thick sidewall tires.

Looking back historically, the ratio of average new car price/median household income = 63% is fairly high. This was generally in the mid-high 50s.

I recently received a text from the salesman who sold me my S5 wanting to know whether I or any family members are in the market for a new vehicle. Audi sales must be slow.

I have read that Dollner is trying to find a way to cancel the F1 program without losing face. At least they would likely earn a profit on the sale of their stake in Sauber.
