I just crawled under an IS-F and can indeed verify that the

with my camera and took a picture!

Super, super neat car in the flesh!
This post is worthless without a pic!!

I heard it's going to have driver's side Shiatsu and two reverse gears that will enable it to park itself in only 18.6 seconds! Anybody know number and size of cupholders?

I thought about an RS4 but it does not come in automatic. What was Audi thinking?

Does anyone know where to contact Edmunds? They used to allow comments after the articles...

Wanna bet they won't correct it just like the 2007/2008 EPA ratings they used in the 600h article?

Check this out! 50 more bhp and we can soar with the Teutonics.

Plus, you can't get white seats on an RS4 or an M3--bummer.

Default Audi BMW friends?

They're not going to care. It's still just a mass produced Toyota lacking soul.

Talk about reliability, though. It's right up their with Ferrari and Lamborghini and it has a six year anti rust warranty to boot! How long is the corrosion warranty on the vaunted Tercel?

IS-F left side muffler. The right side of the photo
is the rear of the car. There is a fascia behind
the tips that "finishes" the look of the bumper
and the tips & muffler are for sure connected!



Brakes, front:

Sexy car.

Might have to forego the Catalina 320 for one of these!
