But I like the darker look on the "air intakes" as well as the night package grill which I have fitted as well.

Yes, I know. It's difficult when there is more time in the rear view mirror than the front windshield. C'est la vie!!!

My father once owned a black LTDII with red vinyl interior. Wonderful car to own on a tropical island!!!! Nothing like the smell of burnt flesh if you entered it in too much of a hurry.

Love it! I love the look and smell of old American interiors. My Cadillac Fleetwood interior was leather with a lot of vinyl and plastics, and smelled like old, overheated flesh...

Best German comedy must go to Volkswagen for the emissions scandal when the United States Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of violation of the Clean Air Act to German automaker Volkswagen AG.
Now that must have left lots of VW owners laughing.

In my neighborhood that includes Audi and Porsche owners, too. There is an exodus from all the VW brands. Even my daughter dumped her almost new Audi.

Ironically, I sold by sub-10,000 mile Golf R because I lost faith in the brand.

Strange comments. Audi sales in Canada are growing at 15% per year and have basically caught up to BMW. My two son in laws drive Audi's and my daughter just ordered a Q7 in July with an ETA of early October.

They are cars that don't hit my radar but seem to attract younger buyers.

It's probably because they position themselves more towards high tech luxury versus more establishment luxury or extreme driving dynamics.
