Disregard my earlier statement, I was thinking of a different car. Was thinking of the previous generation which had a lot of VW Rabbit parts in it. I don't care much for Audis in general. Basically VW's with different badging and the price jacked up a few thousand. That one in your link looks pretty cool though.
Ah... there it is then. The what we know vs what we think we know.
I don't know everything about cars... there's plenty I don't know. I do know enough to see right through some of the statements being made. The evo is a good car, but its not as good as the Audi Sport from the mid 80's... the one that pretty much defined the modern AWD car.
And the Scoobie is not all that different than the Mitsubishi Conquest TSi or eagle... or whatever it turned into. They all come and go and are soon forgotten. They have the big boost over stressed engine syndrome and end up on a lot somehwere selling for $500 next to 10 year old bmws.
Then there are the cars on which legends are based. The Mid-60's muscle is one. The tri 5 chevy's are another as well as the 30's fords. The ferrari roadsters and the small british coupes would fit in there. The Audi Quattro Sport and the Porsche Grouppe B were defining cars too. As was the Corvette ZR-1 and the McClaren. All of these cars had relevance and were awe inspiring. The only Japanese car I can think of that might even remotely fit into this category would be the 240Z... but that's a stretch.
Coming up with a car that gives the 60's muscle a run for it's money is not an achievement... not when it comes close to so many mid 60's muscle cars. To come into a thread about mid 60's muscle and say otherwise is to make yourself look like Dowding... young and inexperienced.
