Q: I do, in the past, an audi was the sign of refinement and class. Not any more, they're awfully brash. I like the new designs, but i think they have lost something.
A: Clarkson was right when he said they have replaced BMW in terms of the pricks that drive them. BMW's always used to have some end at the wheel and they would always be driven 2mm off your rear bumper when traveling on the motorway. Now, if there is a car right up your backside on the motorway (even when you can't go any faster due to traffic in front) it is nearly always an Audi. They all have that stupid S-line badge on the front as well. Even the underpowered Audi's have the little red S-line badge on the front. There is one good thing about all these Audi's looking so fast and agressive though... the look on the faces when I put my foot down and leave them for dust! My car does this at any speed and it frustrates the hell out of arrogrant Audi drivers. The most fun is undertaking them when a gap opens up infront and you can change back to the middle lane and shoot past them on the inside. I'd agree - Audi's have lost their cool.
