Replying to: dm1212 (Oct 29, 2008 1:23 pm) So, I say again, The Fusion was loosely based on the 1st gen Mazda6. I have a funny feeling you are about to get ripped by many here in regards to calling the Mazda6 "cheap and loose". greyghost, where are ya? All evidence points to the contrary. Again, if you didn't like it, just say so! |

Replying to: dm1212 (Oct 29, 2008 12:25 pm) dm1212, you might want to go back and check your facts again. You're welcome to your opinion regarding how these cars drive, but there are people on this list who are fairly well-placed in the auto industry and who thus know what the hell they're talking about when they discuss the similarities and differences, common platforms, components and so on. Hosts?

I do really like Audi's design, particularly the new A4, however, I will respectfully disagree about the interior quality statement. I have spent a lot of time in my co-workers 2006 A6 4.2, and I was very unimpressed. Build quality is decent, but, design, materials and lay out were unimpressive for a $50,000 car.

Though, with the plunging gas prices, I wonder how long it will be before they decide... "oops we were actual right before when all we cared about was trucks and SUVs"  .

Replying to: aviboy97 (Oct 29, 2008 2:14 pm) I was thinking about buyin an 09 A4 V6, can't drive a 4 with a turbo. 42,000 fully loaded. nav. prem. etc. I test drove it around two weeks back, stiff steering, sporty, etc. but while on the test drive the car was really lacking in leg-room. Going to maybe trade my car in when the 09 A6 comes out. 51k on my car, no problems besides the sun-roof and rear cup-holders. Handling is superb, especially in snow, never going to own anything besides an Audi ever again. Thats why on affordable mid-size sedans I would go with the Passat. And you ask why I hate ford so much, before having my A6 I had a 2003 Expedition Edie Bauer, and the car was a piece of junk, stalling on the high way, not my thing. |
