That'd be pimp if you got a B8. BTW, have you seen the B8 commercial they played during the Olympics? It's a pretty big slap in Mercedes face, kind of funny though.

The B8 has been on order since April, now it's just waiting game. Yea, I saw the commercial. Kinda funny, but a very low blow to MB. I would have rather seen them go at BMW, but oh well!

they must've think people that buy Audis are those previously that owns MBs. other wise there's no reason to poke fun at MB.

but personally i've seen more that went from Bimmer to Audi than from MB to Audi. mostly because the way you can tune those turbos.

Indeed. If all goes well I should have a nice big turbo in my car within the next year or 2. I'm focusing on 'show' mods first since I still have a warranty and what I'm going to put in it will DEFINITELY void it. I can honestly say though, I'd probably switch back to MB if I had the money to get what I wanted to.
