About time. Now Audi can drop its entry level models (which are really Volkswagens) and focus on what it really wants to make/import – mid to high end street legal race cars with luxury interiors.

Hopefully VW will get a little more american mojo; all black GTI interior choice options are fine, but at least Audi understood not every sports car driver wishes to drive from inside a coal bin.

Where is the Jetta wagon? It would instantly be one of the biggest sellers.

It certainly beats this clunker of an idea:

“Hey, I know, let’s release a $70K uber-sedan that is heavier than our own Audi A8 and we’ll slap a huge VW emblem on it because we know how prestigious the VW name is – especially in America where the VW name is equal to top notch quality and reliability.”

hahaha yeah Ford isnt exactly someone i would want to mimic right now. I think its best off as it is right now… they ought to move Audi into the volume group. Yes they would prefer it to have an upscale image, but when next to bentley, lamborghini, and bugatti, it looks pathetic. Make bentley, lambo, and bugatti an “exotic” grouping, volkswagen and audi another group, and skoda/seat another group, with overlapping between each. oh wait, that would basically just make it what it is now… why bother changing it

When will VW give us a new microbus? Do they realize how strong the market still is for all those old VW vans in this country? It’s insane that we do not have all those great small vans that are all over the world here in the US.
