[V8] The Audi S5: A $59000 NOPE!

[Lanier Pratt]

I don't know guys.  I think what Audi is doing is beautiful.  I am  
extremely comfortable
in my '92 V8, but would jump at the opportunity to own a 2006/7 A8  
W12.  I would have
to get an electrical engineering degree to work on the damn thing,  
but the lines on the
new cars are so sleek and subtle while maintaining the sport nature  
that we all enjoy.

Just a 35 year olds opinion.
