I think that given the current product lines, this grouping is laughable
at best.
I mean think about it, in terms of 'sporty', does the A4 match the 3
series?  The A6 match the 5 series?  A8 match the 7 series?  Well, one
out of three ain't bad...or is it?
That's not to mention the VW...OK, they've come a long way, but they're
going to have to do a lot better in the quality of the interior to catch
up with M-B...and perhaps come up with a design of their own in the
process.

hrmph.
