Way to go Peter! I am with you all the way.

The only situation where I'd give up Audis for Oriental tin cans would 
be Audi's admittedly mindless trend to discontinue stick shifts and 
turbo engines in its big cars. And even then the Saabaru will be the 
first candidate in line. At least it will be half-European.
