“General Motors Corp. Monday said its US sales fell 25.9 percent in June, a sharp decline from last year’s incentive-boosted results”

Nicely said GM Sales…how’s that “made in China” computer working for you? How bout your “made in China” cell phone? How bout your “made in Japan” TV?

Just wondering. Maybe you should drive your american car over to Wal Mart and help support the Chinese economy.

#2 reason why you should never buy an Audi product?

More new sh*t that can go wrong on top of all the old sh*t. Audi will never, ever design a reliable, quality car. They’re just POS VW’s with flashy interiors (made from crap if you really analyze them) and more headaches. Audi will never be 1% of what GM offers in the Cadillac, Pontiac or buick lineup.

#1 reason? You’re an unAmerican loser if you buy one. You’re single handedly contributing to the demise of the USofA. Think about that before you buy.

If it’ll help cure the terminal understeer that plagues most Audi’s, I’m all for it.

I really hope they don’t get rid of the TORSEN as that is a major reason I like AUDI

Yeah but the Audi S cars are performance cars, where presumably you will feel the difference with this diff (autocrossing, track days, etc.)
Acuras are for my neighbor to drive to the office and back.

The point is, yes Acura has this, but who cares if it’s not on a performance car? What typical RL owner even knows what understeer is or has ever felt it? Anybody who has autocrossed an S4 or similar knows that they push like crazy in a stock configuration…this should help that out hopefully and make it a bit more neutral.

It’s unclear from this article whether this will be on the S cars or all of them. I dont see why the average A4/6 etc would need this. s4, s6, etc sure.

Don you are correct: 3 Accura models will have same differential this year. And rumors on this site state that next gen TL will have one as well.

This and the MLB platform are great artillery for Audi’s attack on BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Acura had this a while ago, nothing new

The Audi Quattro RS cas are perfectly ordinary, smart Audis which will happily tear your face off. Understatement at its very best. This new diff should make things even faster.
