    I've heard it said that Audi's are way better than BMW's. Afterall, BMW
    backwards is "Wants to be a Mercedes Benz" rolleyes1.gif.

    Maybe we should duke it out in the desert at the great shoot out :D

    To each his own I guess. But why does BMW far outsell Audi in each class year after year?

    Personally, I think all Audi's look the same.

    Hey kid, it's called brand image... you know where they got the idea? A certain shop in Bavaria is the king of this, big companies have been trying to get that kind of design consistency across the board for decades.

    That's always been one of the things I liked about BMW's. Not nearly at the top of the list like perfect balance and dynamics to die for, but it's nice that they know who they are and all the cars show it. Take a look at Volvo, Audi, and Saab over the past 10 years. Heck, it's evident in the rampant renaming they've done to make all their cars consistent. It's no coincidence that BMW has had 3-, 5-, 7- for decades and just in the last one have the other makers followed suit.
