It's as if he gets paid by GM to leave comments that are barely thought through. I mean, think about it, if he loves GM soooo much, then why would he read any article regarding any other marque? If you are offended, that is only because you choose to be offended. I made it sound that way quite on purpose, glad to see that you appreciated it. To be fair, I probably can't find a more pompous comment, I aimed high... real high! Thanks :) Now, I don't think I am special on any level because I stayed in school to get a degree and worked hard and saved money to buy something that I can appreciate on a personal level. So, it's my car, that's it. If it makes you feel better about yourself to say that it is my dads bosses car, which did crack me up BTW, then go right for it, I am happy to accommodate! Smile, it's supposed to be funny! Cheers! Oh, that guy had it coming, you have to admit that. It’s as if he gets paid by GM to leave comments that are barely thought through.

I challenge ANYONE to find an American equivalent to my 2002 Audi A8L based on: Power per liter of engine displacement (320hp for 4.2l) It's reliability, as I have had zero abnormal issues Timeless design (although it's based on opinion, american car until recently were quite attrocious) Level of luxury And, most importantly, gas mileage; I get a consistent 28mpg on the highway without turning off cylinders, which is a lame attempt to solve the issue even though it works. It's nice to have all that power on tap on the highway! Also, I still have a 97 GTi that I beat the hell out of that has given me zero reasons to complain! The only reason american cars are improving is that they have purchased some european brands and pilfered the R&D toolbox and technology. NMOFGM, please check the wide world of facts before you open your ill informed mouth. You render your opinions as worthless when you do so! Need More oil for GM is soooooooooooo jealous!
