That's why I got an audi. Push comes to shove you can service it at a local VW dealer which are way more plentiful than audi dealers (I have 1 audi dealer in a city of 2 million and another one is just opening up vs something like 7 vw dealers).

With Audi you get (as expected) the cabin noise levels you'd expect from an american car (something as expected you've found lacking in VW).

Really?

Clarify. You are disputing which part of my statement

1. VW is on average is noiser than an audi.

2. audi cabin noise level are comparable to cabin noise level in an typical american sofa on wheels

This one.

I test drove an R8, S7 and an S5.

I *own* a Q7.

A finance company owns a Q7 that they let you drive as long as you make the lease payments...

...and pay for the maintenance...

...and the insurance.

What do you drive? And what is it worth? And how much does the insurance and maintenance cost your daddy?

Hmmmmm.....no answer from Dickie. I wonder why. I'm sure he has a luxury sports car. Maybe a Ferrari or a Maserati, or even a Corvette

Well for myself, I drive a 1990 Mazda Miata with updated suspension...

...and a 1989 Van Diemen RF89...

...and a white Dodge Ram 1500 SLT. Sorry, but I can't remember the year at the moment.

As for what they're worth, that would be what a willing buyer and willing seller can agree upon.

As for insurance and maintenance, the Miata is about $1300 a year for insurance, and maintenance... ...perhaps $300-$400 a year. That includes all regular services as well as the replacement of brake pads, catalytic convertors (twice) and one clutch.

Oh, and no one pays for any of it but me.

What about you, Michael: what do you want to pretend you drive this week?
