You're so right... remember when they called the TT dangerous because Audi
set it up for oversteer? Which they did because everyone found understeer
boring?
I never worry too much about what TG says about a car (apart from the A2,
I've never heard them review an Audi favourably), I just like the sideways,
tyre smokin' antics and the roaring engines you won't see on any other car
show.
