Default RE: B7 opinion

i have never driven a b7 so can't comment on the feel or performance. however, on style i think they took a step back. something about the front end, i think the bumper looks cut off or something. i prefer the b6, that is probably my favorite looking, then the b5.
technically, i still can't figure out why Audi only offers Front trac as an alternative to quattro. why don't they make a rear wheel drive version?

I dont understand the over engineered part. you seem to like the engine and drivetrain, is it the look? I was off at first, but to make such a bold statement for a grill it says hey f*cker, im the best germany has to give you. look at me, look at me you goofy bit*h! It is telling the American public hello, im here, and the big engine, no cheap plastic feature at best Detroit design is in trouble.

Cause Audi is about AWD , not RWD.

I meant it would come down to the driver if you WERE chipped.
You would get pulled on not chipped. Even if it were a Tip.
it seemed like mine pulls alot faster and harder than the b7, maybe it was because the b7 only had 45miles on it lol.

Alright, the 2.0T that I drove felt faster than my GIAC 1.8T. I love the way the b7 handles and I love the 2.0T. Only thing is that the styling doesn't quite catch my eye, but neither does the styling of a stock b5, or b6. With a drop and some wheels, and software, the b7 kills the rest. And I don't believe anyone that says they wouldn't trade there 5-10 year old car for a new one. (b5 for a b7)
