I don't get it.

I see that you got that photoshop picture from E90post but, that statement still imply that BMW is inferior to the Audi.

Audi drivers are so used to having so much grip with their AWD and they crash when they get into BMW??

Or Audi owners aren't used to driving RWD. It's easier to correct with RWD as opposed to AWD.

It's saying that Audi drivers can't drive a real car (without a bunch of driver assist tech). or, that they can't drive for squat. I think it's saying the latter.

Audi plays second fiddle to BMW, quattro is only another expensive audi part that WILL break and WILL be expensive to fix (I know first hand) Audi drivers are a joke.

Only your ES rolls. Not so much in my Is350.

audi in general just breaks, but i would expect quattro to be the last thing to break.

I dunno, maybe its the fact it's a dressed-up VW? I promise you, 9 out of 10 VWs I see on the road have the check engine light on.

I like Audi's especially the RS4 which I had the pleasure of tossing around at the Audi driving event last year. The one flaw I find in Audi cars is the suspension geometry. These cars suffer from body roll just like Lexus cars.
