I believe you are correct. Audi already blew past many exotics with the power rating and didn't want to insult their own Lambo

Default UPDATE on US arrival

Spoke to a GM yesterday during my trip to Chicago @ Audi Exchange. HE told they will NOT bring this car (avant or saloon) to the states as it would:

1. Be priced same as R8
2. Would KILL R8 sales in US as it will take the R8 ALL DAY

This car is weak. How do you put that much power in a station wagon. Lame. I watched the episode of top gear recently that show cased this car and it was quick, but its a station wagon. I dont car what this thing can do..... its a station wagon.


I think if this car was sold in the US we would have many dead families This thing is made for people who absolutely need to hit 185mph with the family in tow. LAME!!!!!
