I don't like Audis, I don't care about the drivers...

I must have that from my (late) father in law... He used to say they were communists' cars

as they were produced by the unions (see the 4 rings, "Auto-Union"...). He said he'd never buy one.

You would think that might be a bit outdated, but the most recent example of this image still being attached to Audis was the previous German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, who purposedly replaced all official government cars with Audis, as they fit the leftist image better than Merc or BMW.

That was for the anecdote.

From the driver's point of view, I'll just say Audi's produced many high-powered cars but has unfortunately underperformed anything BMW came out with since the Audi Quattro. Even the Mercs AMG are better (I own a C63).

I'm sure mid-range Audis are good cars. You'll just never see me driving one.
