I'm down in Laguna for vacation and I came here thinking it would be Audi galore... but once I hit the streets and highways in my aunt's BMW I realized its like a driving Mercedes and BMW dealership in southern California. In total I've seen 2 A3's maybe around 10 A4's and a few A6's along with 1 B5. Something wrong with this picture? I've probably seen more Bentley continentals than Audis

There's a ton more Audi's in the mountains where I live, probably because of quattro...

welcome to socal....where you see MB's and BMW's at every corner. They are too common around here, it's why I have an Audi

All the audi's are up north with the people that need them. We leave the MB's and crap down in LA like everything else. I am jk, but up here in the bayarea, people have them like they are going out of style. over 50 cars in my parking garage and I counted over 15 are audi's. But they have created a thread in the west section about it. I have run into people with the sickest tuned audi's. And they have run into me.

Orange County is notorious for being Bimmer and Mercedes galore. Coming out of Newport Beach every evening after work I'd be passed by a Lambo, Bently, Rolls, or some other exotic. There are a lot of Audi's here, but most are not in Laguna.

Cheers!

I know what you mean about Newport chef, we have a house on Balboa and when we were walking around the island Isaw numerous Lambos and Ferraris. Guess this is something to get used to and maybe one of the perks because I might be living in the area in the near future.

It also has to do with the two huge MB dealers in Newport and Laguna. Way too much money down there. A lot of rich kids driving some sick cars too. No jealousy here. None at all. No sir.
