Audi and BMW have been at it for quite some time now.

Nothing out of the ordinary. You should see their ads in Europe and South Africa...

Stupid, b/c BMW offers AWD. Audi has no AWD advantage anymore, even Lexus has AWD, hell Acura does too.

I agree. When I think of Audi, nothing distinct comes to mind besides perhaps their styling. On the other hand, Lexus=Quality, BMW=Fun, Mercedes=Pricey. I can't say that Audi has some memorable trait.

Lexus=Hybrid, BMW=Performance, Mercedes=Class, Audi=Sterile. Let's play word association...

i do wish that Audi would reconsider their platform...having FWD is nice and all but it's not "sporting" kind of ironic that their DTM A4's are V8 monsters that are RWD and yet they offer no RWD in any chassis.

far better interiors and some of their newer designs blow away BMW/Benz designs like the A5

I agree on the interiors. If Audi was more reliable, they'd be contending with Lexus on what car I would buy new.
When it comes to cars, I absolutely need it to be reliable. I do not want to take my car back to get fixed whether I pay 12k or 120k on a car. My only gripe with Toyota is that they haven't been playing aggressive enough on the coupe department. They have, three coupes in the US line up.
SC430. Technically a hardtop convertible and even if it wasn't a convertible it's not a proper luxury coupe like the older SCs.
Solara, a bit better with the refresh but still frigging weird looking rear with wrong wheel drive and not very fast.
tC, nice little cheap hatch with a bit of power but not really enough to excite me and also wrong wheel drive.
