Yeah with the exchange rate I remember seeing that the tag would be close to $167,000. Still, as long as we're dreaming here...

Too lazy to figure out how to get the image to re copy over... Quoting it just copies the text, but whatev.

Anyway, I don't like that body kit on there, it looks goofy IMO. I think the stock design of the A5/S5 looks just fine. I'd take an S5 if I could afford the base price, insurance, and gas for the beast, but I definitely wouldn't take one with a goofyass body kit like that...

Pretty much the only SUV I'd consider would be a GM with a 6.0L. You guys think VAG-COM is good for our cars? It's nowhere NEAR what EFI Live and HPTuners can do. Doesn't even BEGIN to compare. (And some of you brag about it, lol)

But I want to know why no one would buy a Touareg. Considering its for the wife and kids, what are its downsides?

I agree, its a bit over-the-top. But if you read the article, that picture is just an "artist's rendering", the real thing hasn't been designed yet. The point was to pay homage to the coupe quattro's badassness. I would like to think that the one designed by Audi would be a little less tacky looking. I'll take that 400+ HP bi-turbo V6 though

i would take one. but they are expensive as hell and I doubt you can get it with a manual trans... might as well get a s4 avant for that price
