IMO I would never own an audi without quattro. A sports car should be either rearwheel drive or AWD if you want a car that is usable unless the road conditions necesitate a lifted vehicle or a snow plow.

Is that confirmed? Why would Audi keep their bread and butter off the streets? The test models in MT and Car and Driver were fitted with Quattro, so it doesn't sound like any drivetrain issues to be worked out.

I read on MT that the first cars to come over would be quattro 3.2 with DSGs
then the 2.0T with manual and dsg and quattro options
I wish they would give us a 2.0T that we could chip to be like 275 horse and 300+ Torque

I honestly didn't like the design that much until I saw it in person this weekend...
