Audi vs. Subaru used cars

[Livolsi, Stephane]

There was an offroad car rally here earlier this year and was sponsored
heavily by a Subaru dealer.  Consequently a lot of people showed up in
nice shiny new Subarus and I have to admit they looked pretty good.  I
especially like the aggressive look of the hood with the air scoops for
the intercooler.  When I asked a guy about it he says " Oh, those are
blocked off because there isn't an intercooler.  It's just for show"
LOL
