[urq] Aucra RL and other industry musings (some Audi content)

[Jon Linkov]

There are a lot of interesting vehicles on the market, but I'd have a hard
time putting my $$ down for a new car...I'd probably say, in no particular
order, that I'm interested by:
Mazda3 5-door
Infiniti G35 coupe (styling is interesting, but the interior is awful)
WRX Sti
RSX Type-S
Cooper S
F-150 Crew Cab (to tow the UrQ track car, of course!)
Legacy GT Wagon (though it sucks down gas and the lack of a telescopic
steering wheel in a $30K-plus car is a SIGNIFICANT oversight)
Z4 SMG (driving only; it's fugly, IMHO)
New Mustang (styling seems interesting, but I'm not anticipating a great
drive overall)
C6 Corvette (I grew up with a 65 and 67 in my family garage, and dad owns a
C5 AND works at the Corvette museum...I HAVE to be interested!)
Caddy STS (early production version I drove was nice, but I need more time
in it to really decide if I like it)

Sorry for the ramble...
Jon
