LSD is for M cars. You have to pay for it , it won't come cheap.

Maybe because the Audi guys set the ball rolling...

I keep hearing from journalist reviews that it beats BMW E92 and CLK hands down.

i believe any sane person can decipher that statement by yannis correctly, he was simply referring to the design of a5/s5, which is true in most of the reviews. (i know this is a subjective matter, but that doesn't change the fact that most car journalists praised a5/s5's design)
then the bmw boys tried to defend their glorious 335i by bringing the dynamic aspect into the formula, which is completely irrelevent to the statement by yannis.
this is the last post i will contribute to this pointless argument.

Ok, peace brothers , and back to the topic please.

I feel that Audi is a bit late to the game. The B8 A4 should had been with us at least one year ago. The B7 held well (especially the RS4) but it was time for an all new car.

German companies need to shorten their cycles. You can't have the same model on the market for 7 years as in the old days when you face competition from other car makers (Infiniti , Lexus) that change their cars more often.

Quite a big difference. I guess the 2.7L engine will be clearly the option for those who need lots of torque.

I joined the party after Yannis started to preach. It takes two to tango and I didnt start the dance.

I disagree with you on this one Yannis, I believe the bulk of the luxury car industry feels that the German Marques are trend setters, where the Japanese are trend chasers! Even Acura and Infiniti decided to go the way of BMW with there own versions of I-Drive, however Lexus continues to do there own thing which I commend them for.
