In U.S., writers cannot say anything bad about BMWs because consumer
accept and demand BMWs to be the "ultimate driving machines." Any
journalist, reviewer, etc. who deviates from the accepted belief will be
instantly discredited, receive death threats, and have their ancestoral
family tree questioned. Hence in U.S. Audi will never become equal the two
pimp mobile marques, BMW and MB.
