LRF4N Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Spent a weekend in a 13 plate A3 s line new shape. Quality is nowhere near my RC Quote
KyleR Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Don't worry folks it was a joke But George you did get excited when you heard a mustang being mentioned Who wouldn't not as exited as the person who actually mentioned it If you mean me, I wasn't excited at all. But please, go back to making yourself feel better about yourself. Let it go man Stop bringing it up then Just like Basil said, 'you started it' Do you proof read your own posts? You're truely deluded. Quote
Will370z Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Guys............ this is getting tiresome, stay on topic Quote
Zeezeebaba Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) A new Z needs to be lighter have a smaller capacity FI power plant and have a chassis blessed by the gods if it's going to sell. Not only will emissions and economy be a must but aesthetically it needs to look cool. The rendering posted doesn't tick any visual likes for me. Also all this banging on about lifestyle cool interiors and quality means nothing to me personally. It's all about the drive for me, this is why I have never touched an Audi. I've tried to like them but by Christ they are dull to drive. I like mustangs for the event they are and commend Ford for releasing them over here. As for electric cars, well as a petrol head they usher in the end of my hobby and although a threat I commend manufacturers for exploring future tech. Do I give a damn about 0 to 60 in 2 seconds, no not really. I would rather take 5 seconds and enjoy the theater of a nice V. Edited January 28, 2017 by Zeezeebaba Quote

Strudul Posted January 28, 2017 Author Posted January 28, 2017 They're the air vents, with the controls for them in the middle on little LCD displays which saves having separate HVAC controls elsewhere. It's genius, and works brilliantly. If you guys genuinely think that Inifiniti or Lexus interiors are better than that, ahm oot. The quality of materials is on another level. I know, it's a meme... Ah, never mind, wrong demographic. Point is, they (in my opinion) look like an after thought, and a tacky one at that, much like the weird floating screen in Mercs. Have you been inside a Lexus? Everything looks like it belongs and exudes luxury and aesthetic design. No stupid jet turbines stuck to the dash, just smooth, clean lines. Quote

The G Man Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Yes that does look nice, there'll be a price to pay for that niceness, not something we could all afford though, or be truly mass produced. Quote
The G Man Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 What's required is a back to basics ethos. You mean like the raging success the gt86 was? The generally motoring market couldnt care less about manual/na/rwd Agreed, they couldn't, however the OP has posted on a forum to people who do Quote

Ekona Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Given far most people on here bought their car because of the styling, I'd say looks are more important than drivetrain sadly. Edited January 29, 2017 by Ekona Quote
Richf Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Agreed, they couldn't, however the OP has posted on a forum to people who do But a forum that has a very very small number of owners who buy new and they are the ones who influence the market, not the person looking to buy a 10 year old car Quote

Nothing to do with buying new or not. The original post happens to be about a new car though. Quote
Ekona Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Car forums are indeed full of people who want light cars that handle well with a good amount of power and a good manual gearbox. Sadly these people are not going out and buying cars like that in any great numbers, and the folks who want something with great 0-60 times for willy-waving down the pub along with a premium badge are on the increase. That's life. Quote

galgazza Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Surprised that Audi is being knocked for interior quality, my new company car A4 sline is far superior to its BMW counterpart, 3 series. Quote
Strudul Posted March 6, 2017 Author Posted March 6, 2017 BMW interiors have always been a bit shite though. Not necessarily uncomfortable, but very bland and clinical, not at all luxurious or fancy. 1 Quote
