In this case, the cars did sound different - esp. S8 and M5. They at least 
gathered several different WOT samples. And no tire (tyre) squeals on gravel, 
IIRC.

What is the general timetable for release on The Continent (or islands near it) 
of US-release filmed entertainment in relation to the US release? Several 
months or so? Anyone? Anyone? Will we have to wait that long for Jouko to be 
able to tell us if that's really what an S8 sounds like?

Wishing I had taped "Gumball Rally" for the glorious Ferrari noises (certainly 
not the plot) last time I saw it on the DSS.
And if I'm paying $6 for a car-chase movie, could I have more car-chases and 
fewer suspense-building boring moments?

Actual Audi content: saw my first euro-lights-in-the-flesh-not-on-one-of-my-  
cars today at the dealer, gray 89-90 200q in for service.
