The problem is that every off-topic reference begets (hah!) a response which begets several more responses and there we go.
 
We have appropriate places to pursue the off-topic interests that some of you have. We are simply asking that you use them.
 
If you use the features related to Watched Items, it is a snap to follow several topics at one time and not even care that you have moved from one to another. You folks really should try it instead of dismissing it out of hand.

Does it really need to go that far? It's obvious that we prefer to post here and not there. Can't there be a balance?
 
My humbler and most sincere support to that.
 
Regards,
Jose

Jose, tagman, anyone else who wants to chime in:
 
I am sorry, this is not negotiable. Please see my last post as I added a suggestion about Watched Items.
 
Let's not get off track on a debate that doesn't have more than one outcome.
 
Thanks, I really appreciate your cooperation.

"And please don't tell me that Audi S4 of yours is yellow or else I will become green with envy..."
 
Nope, Ice Silver Metallic! I didn't know of your fondness for the S4?! As you know, Tony and I are part of a growing minority around here. I've been touting Audi's here and abroad for years only to be told that they are second tier, unworthy, faux-luxury posers! Well these posers are sure making some dents in the luxury car arena. How does a 7 year old A8 continue to be at the top of rankings and lists? The new A4(particularly quattrosport and S4) have received nothing but rave reviews. Even 3-Series-leaning C&D had to tip the hat in the S4's favor here recently, in a wide margin!
 
I don't think the rear seats are anymore cramped than those of my traded 335i, maybe a bit bigger by accounts. This car is much wider than the 3 and on a longer wheelbase, so I think that helps out in passenger room.
 
Regarding the Benz, it was just a thought. I think I will take sabatical from the uber-luxo rides for a while, maybe just until the new A8 comes aroung maybe, or A7. The new 7-Series just doesn't seem to do it for me(abrupt throttle tip-in, somewhat flinty ride), and as you'll remember, I got rid of an S600 after 3 months of ownership.
 
Good luck on your chase for the S4!

Tell your mom to try the new A6 3.0T S-Line. It is quite impressive and a blast to drive. It beat the new E-Class plus other cars in this segment in a recent comparo (I think it was Motor Trend last month). The A6 is highly reliable and one of Consumer Report's best and beats the E-Class in reliability. My mother had a 2000 A6 4.2 which was had no problems for the 5 years she owned it. Then she bought another A6. This time a 2005 A6 4.2 which over the last four years never had an issue. This past summer she went all out and bought herself a 2009 S6 in "Adventure Blue Pearl Effect" and added the 20" rim option to boot. At 78, she hates being boring and her S6 sure stand outs among her friends' Lexus. They all want a ride from her. The young guys at gas stations are always asking her if she knows what she is driving. She quickly points out that she came here from Germany and doesn't need the car lesson.
