Now, as I said earlier in the thread, I picked BMW for a reason, many in fact, but both brands have some great cars in their lineup.

The R8 is pretty good, the A4 Allroad BiTDI isn't bad, the S1 is quite fun, the SQ5 is fairly decent, the RS6 is fast but way too heavy.
That's it for me; can't think of any others.
The bulk of Audis cars are "pretend" sporty cars. No matter what body kit and giant wheels you put on your 2.0 diesel FWD saloon, it's still a 2.0 diesel FWD saloon. You just cannot make a good, balanced cars with an engine so far forwards and in most cases, FWD or Haldex AWD.
They come up with the odd decent motor (e.g. B7 RS4) but so often they just disappoint. All that platform sharing with Seat, Skoda and VW doesn't help just like every brand ruined by GM.
