I agree entirely.  But, why must we apologize for wanting/liking cars
outside of Audis?  I believe that if you are looking for an all out
track car, there are much better choices than Audis.  If you want a
competent sports sedan, then Audi is a great choice, as are Mercs, BMW's
etc.  No need to apologize.  There are a lot of great cars out there and
Audis are just one; we should try to enjoy as many as possible.  I drove
a Ferrari today...not bad.
