Audi News: Audi Sport's CEO Wants A Hypercar, But Not Anytime Soon
Audi has no business playing in this realm. At one point, this could have been a great parallel with the R18 Prototype racer, but that chip has sailed. Audi needs to focus on making their meat and potatoes products better than ever. If they want to do something special, give us that damn Quattro Sport Concept they keep teasing and then shelving.

Comments: Frankfurt 2017: 2019 Porsche Cayenne Puts the 'Sport' In Sport Utility
That is quite looking. An improvement over the current one, I'd say. On a side note, the base model is now doing 0-60 in 5.6 seconds?!? And given Porsche's known conservatism, in reality it's probably 5.3. That's nuts.

2017 Cruze LT RS
Why would he take his Audi to a VW dealer for service?? And why should expect anything other than a VW as a loaner??

VW News: Volkswagen T-Roc Not Coming to the U.S.
It's unfortunate, but the writing for this was on the wall long ago. As soon as they announced production would be in Europe, this thing stood 0 chances of being imported here. This would have to be too low in price to be competitive, and it would not be feasible from a cost standpoint after transportation. Maybe we will see a variant produced here or in Mexico for our market. VW would be stupid to ignore this segment completely. The Tiguan is far too big and expensive to entice buyers of the subcompact class.

2017 Cruze LT RS
This thread highlights another reason why Cadillac trails other luxury players. You take your ATS in to get serviced, and you get a Cruze for a loaner. Lol, what a damn joke. Imagine taking in your Lexus LS for service and getting a Corolla loaner. Or a 7 Series and getting a base MINI for a loaner. Awful. Oh, and yes, the new Cruze is a total snooze fest. It's a little big car. That's about all it has going for it.

Ultimate Dream Garage: Unconventional Layout Edition
Drew wanted this one, so I'm obliging him and I expect great things!! This one will use odd engine layouts, regardless of size, aspiration, cylinder count, power, etc. They just must be an odd layout. Rules- 1) These are your only vehicles. 2) Must have been semi-street legal and production. I say this because I know there were some pretty odd creations back in the 10s, 20s, 30s that really straddle this line. Use good judgement here. No racecars, pure concepts, etc. 3) Must have an unconventional layout- that means NOT a V, not an H, and not an I configuration. You can use a W, a Slant, a radial, rotary, whatever. 4) Any era and market is allowed. 5) Once you choose a top 5, you can expand to 10. * I am going to make an amendment and allow select V engines, so long as they are an abnormal engine count- V-twin, V4, etc. NO 6's, 8's, 10's, 12's or 16's.

BMW News: 2018 BMW M5 Arrives with 600 Horsepower, AWD
I mean, the specs are good. But so are every other competitors'. It'll be all about the drive, and BMW has gotten that wrong far more than they have gotten it right lately.

Ultimate Dream Garage: Over 4.0 Liter N/A Edition
The sister thread to the earlier one. I'll get right down to business here. Rules- 1- Production cars only. 2- Any era and market is allowed. 3- These are your only vehicles. 4- Choices must be greater than 4.0 liters of displacement, meaning AT LEAST 4.1 5- Naturally aspirated engines only. 6- No Hybrids. 7- You have 5 choices, but can add 5 more after doing a Top 5.
