  The only review I've read so far on it said it was what ruined the...
new Audi I believe.  The reviewer HATED it!  Couldn't take off from 
a stop light any faster than average cars, a couple other issues...
Before it came out in anything, the outlook reviews on it were 
fantastic.  I was surprised to read how much this guy hated it.
