Really Dumb Question & Our Competition & A8 Testdrive

["George S Achorn III" <coolidge@nicom.com>]

	I guess I'm a newbie to the list, but why when mentioning competitors to
Audis do you spell them backwards (WMB, and yesterday ehcsroP). I don't get
it. 
	I especially don't get the Porsche thing. Porsche helps VW and Audi alot,
the RS2 is a great car and hopefully the tip of the iceburg for RS cars
(but probably not). BMW is a great quality car built for people with
different preferences than us. I'd take a hopped up A4 any day over a
Bimmer, but the one off M3ti I saw built by BMW would definitely satisfy my
Coupe needs until Audi deems it necessary to build an RS4 Coupe or an RS3
stateside. 
	Also, I was up at my VW/Audi/Porsche dealer and my salesman let me take a
spin in an Audi A8. Very nice and very smooth, but it was just around the
dealership and when I punched it in 1st gear it took about 2 seconds to get
up and go. I know cars have a break in period, but could this be programmed
into the big A car so as not to let joy riders like me damage the engine
during break in. The car had just been pulled off the carrier and still had
plastic on the chrome window frames. Just curious.-G
	PS I'm holding out til my salesman let's me take a 911T out for a spin.
