I have defected...

Where's my flame protectant suit...?

I now have my second VW product in less than a year -- this time a bright red beauty. I personally think the quality of the interior, as well as the connected feeling while driving is far superior to that of the competiting MB product. Anyone want to buy my C32 so I have an excuse to buy an A8? :p

Don't feel bad, at least you went S4. I drove a Dodge Neon SRT-4 yesterday with a Stage 3R turbo and the turbo toys kit and am pondering defection as well. A low 12 quarter mile is just that.

Thats more like a lateral transistion vs. a defection. I was waiting to see this.

Very nice

I considered an S4 cab before I purchased the C55, but convinced myself I didn't need quattro or a cab. Still, I really dig the S4 cab and will actually be renting one for a weekend in Monterey, CA next month!!

Really?

Right when you enter our neighborhood, infront of the gates there's a house with a four car garage.
Two on the left of the house.
Two on the right!
