Great looking car glad you picked that over the soulless Acura appliance... I have always loved Audi's. They have best interiors of any car brand period, but I would have probably picked up a CTS-V or a loaded GTO. The GTO has a faster 0-60 time than pretty much every Japanese car sold in the states and can be had for under 30.. Not bad at all! Congrats on the car and hope you enjoy it and enjoy watching the people stare at you driving by :)

German cars are the most unreliable cars. I agree the germans make a great car, but if it needs to be in the shop all the time then whats the point. I am sticking with japanese.

No kidding. I drive an 87 Accord LX that is beat to hell and back, and I have less money in parts for it than the neighbors do for their late 90s Audi. If I buy an expensive luxury car, it shouldn't need quarterly checkups. I'll stick with the Japanese.

Enjoy your car though, I hope you have great luck with it. No doubt, it is a beautiful car.

actualy german cars are most reliable! of course if it breaks its more expensive (which is rarely).

UPDATE:

I just got informed by the dealership that unfortunately they couldn't locate Grey with black interior, however I'm getting Black on Black. How nice is that. And I'm actually getting it right on my birthday. How cool is that. This car and I were simply meant to be together :)

No kids huh? I used to be able to afford that before my first child. Say no to kids and baby's mamas if you want money in the bank.

Hope you love it, I loved my old Caddy Catera in '99. It is good to be young.

Yeah no kids, that's why I'm actually able to afford it. At least for another 3 years. Then I guess I'll get married, have kids and whatever goes with that. And since I'm 29 next week, it's a real birthday present to myself from myself :)

I'm not sure I'd go that far. Japanese manufacturers have a rich heritage in motorsports.

I know, I was just mocking djsaad1 when he said german cars are the most unreliable :)

Opinions are like ######, everyone has one. Making blanket statements and generalizations like that IMO are opinions. There's a reason why older Jetta Turbo diesel's are popular for the 'just turned teen' crowd.' It's because they are reliable and their parts (if they need them) are in abundance therfore, cheap.

But then again, my LS400 went for 12 years, 200,000 miles without a problem, while my X5 is less then a year old and it's already been in the shop for about a month total. :)

if you picked acura over audi you would be a fuicking moron,

everyone know germans make better cars than japans.

hahah i think you're the fuicking moron

Cube, Mitubishi has major reliability problems...Most people that have owned one know the problems its had and no service from the dealerships

I read on consumer reports that current model american cars are more reliable than current model european cars; Plus the lease should cover all maintenance. But anyways, audi's are awesome rides. The best rides (sedans) I have driven would be the a8's and the s-class mercedes. Both are very smooth and very powerful. One time I was doing like 110 in the mercedes and it seemed like 60, once I saw the speedometer I had to slow it down a bit.

No more German cars for me. Yeah sure, they drive great, handle superbly, and the ride is as smooth as silk, but the expense of upkeep and repairs just isn't worth it. If you used the maintenance schedule for cars like Mercedes, BMW, etc. on any other car, they'd last just as long. Nope, we sold our 7 series bimmer earlier this year and although I must admit that it was the best driving, best handling, most comfortable car we've had (and we've had many), I don't miss forking out the money to maintain it and fix it when something broke.
