I predict many more accomplishments for Audi this year!!! I just got through reading on Fourtitude that Stadler gave a confirmation for the A5 @ Geneva in March.

Just want to tell everyone that the "year in review" was phaeton's idea. He will make a VW one soon.

Great Job Yannis

I'll post VW version tomorrow
