Good job. Next, shave off the rest of the 80% of the VW New Beetle parts.

Your name is "TataPower." Are you supposed to be making fun of VW?

I'll probably stop when I see Tata parts in the next Jaguar, though I strongly doubt it.

I'm sure they won't be using TaTa parts. They will still be a separate entity even though they are the parent company of Jaguar.

Now Audi has to stop telling people that they are lamborghini wngines in the S6 and S8. that;s probably the S6 and S8's strongest selling point. Otherwise they really are overrated for their prices. I was at an audi dealership and the cost of an S8 had depreciated almost 40G dollars in less than 7 months. They couldn't give it away.

They're overrated?

More like underrated. Few people know the S6 and S8 exist. In fact, the S6 has never come in last in a comparison test against the M5 and E63, two cars that have significantly more power and cost $10,000+ more. It has beaten the M5 on two occasions and the E63 AMG on one.

The S6 doesn't scream for attention like the M5 does. I like the S6. Most fan boys don't even know it exist your right.

For the record, Audi is not overrated but underrated. They make the best interiors with fit and finish superior to all luxury brands except RR, Bentley, & Maybach. It only takes one time to notice the precision in it's interiors.

Start off with the A4. The way the doors close. It's a solid sound. Even Lexus hasn't perfected that =)

I'm starting to want an S6. I see more and more as time passes; the LEDs are really something. I also saw a black S5 today--what a stunner!

one reason S4 and one reason only PRICE! the S6 is no faster than a 550i or E550 and i would argue a tuned 535i would run with S6 with no problem a stock model would keep pace with it. Not to mention this whole interior thing with Audi is subjective, while many would say BMW and Lexus lead in interior quality as well as many mags. i wouldnt call them overrated most people could care less about them, or even realize they even intend to compete with BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus the typical consumer that is, the A4 cant stay out of the bottom of the pack on its best day, the A6 stays mid to back pack in all test, throw in their poor depreciation especially the A8, and is there really much to be said of them....

Only if Lambo's Audi overlords decide what they want to do with Lambo. Luckily, the hidden parts come from Audi, otherwise the Lambo would fall apart.

LOL Lambo should cry uncle.......The Murcielago has a definite problem going fast and the brakes on it sure do suck.

BMW the ultimate poseur machine.

whats funny is the price of Lamborghini's will go up because of this, and their maintenance and spare parts cost will increase.
