I guess after I thought about it for a moment...I guess if I lived in a place where the authorities were corrupt and tooled around in Audi's it might turn me off to the brand--even though it is no fault of Audi's.

 

I think it's a nice car, but what do I expect for a car on that level/money?

More. Optioned out (as much as you can anyway) with the things I want it's well over $40k. Performance wise, the G35 utterly destroys it.

I have to admit, however, that outside the US, the C is quite nice. We're just held hostage to the MB-USA jerks.
