LOL I love it, but it was said in good fun. When I went home for a visit, some years ago, my nephew (BMW Test Driver) made the comment, when I was thinking about buying one to use while I was there. I wound up getting an Audi Super 90, and it was one super fun car to drive. It was during that visit, that I found out what Audi stands for, where the name came from and how it was started

As a former DKW owner, I can tell you, without fear of rational
contradiction, that DKW actually stands for "Das Kleine Wunsch" - "The
Little Miracle".
The only people who referred to Dekes as "German Kiddie Cars" were those
envious Messerschmidt & Goggomobile & Berkeley & Isetta owners who
chased DKWs and ate their smoke.

The grille on this fine car carries the 'four circles' logo of the Auto
Union marque - that logo appears today on Audis. Anyone know what four
car manufacturers those four circles stand for?? Nope Wartburg is not
one of them, and no fair going to Google.
