2005 rs4

[sub]

Yes it is SAD how they are making each new model larger and larger and 
heavier.
If any one at AUDI is listening...

URQ was a beautifull sport car, the B5 platform (A4/S4/RS4) were perfect 
sport (family) sedans, not too big not small either, perfect size, 
nimble, very good looking (can you tell I like them)  and fitted with 
all the right equipment : torsen, excelent engine options.

Why they made the new A4/S4/RS4 taller and longer I can't imagine.  IF I 
WANTED a larger/heavier AUDI I would have opted for A6/S6/RS6. 

AUDI never follow....EVERY car manufacturer does this...every new model 
is bigger and heavier !

Instead of making a new model of a series lager why not just keep the 
models the same and make another one eg: A10 if the A8 is not big anough.

I had in the past a Mazda, Honda, VW, BMW, and currently have  1993 
90CSQ, 2001 A4 1.8TQ.  So I have a good opinion of what I like and 
don't.  Out of all those cars I definetly love the AUDIs however  I 
don't like the fact that they are just getting larger and larger

PS: yes there is the A3 but it seems like a big Golf, and it does not 
have a TORSEN !

thanks
just needed to vent !
