Audi RS4 vs. BMW M3 Video

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/122116/2007_audi_rs4/


The Audi RS4 easily demolishes the weaker BMW M3. No surprise to me as I think Audi makes a far superior product than BMW. Many people would probably argue this point, but I would argue that Audi keeps getting better and better. Car & Driver recently picked the entry level 2.0T over every car in it's class including the BMW 3 series, because the BMW 3 series is overpriced and a rear wheel drive configuration is not as practical as a AWD. Plus the quality of an Audi is just so much higher than a BMW.

Concept BMW Mille Migilia Car

This is a retro concept Mille Migilia race car created by BMW. Finally a retro concept that actually looks good. This car will sell out immediately if they do any kind of production runs. Finally a Bimmer that does not look like a spaceship.

2007 Audi RS4


Here is a sweet picture of the upcoming 2007 Audi RS4 from the Geneva Auto Show via http://autoweek.com/. My friend at McDonald Audi in Littleton Colorado says he has already taken a deposit for one. He says the total cost is $72K, that is before luxury taxes and gas guzzler taxes of course. Plus you have to add regular sales tax, handling and I am sure it costs a lot to fill it up. After all these fees you still get the baddest sports sedan on the road.

2009 Nissan Skyline GT-R


Here is a sweet rear shot of the 450hp 2009 Nissan Skyline GTR. This ride has AWD and a ton of power, cannot wait to see one. I saw it first on http://caranddriver.com/.

VW Garage in Wolfsburg Germany


I know it is hard to believe, but this is an actual Volkswagen storage facility in Wolfsburg, Germany. This 20 story facility takes up only 20% of what a typical storage facility would use. Customers actually wait as their car is brought down from one of the 20 stories and then a glass door opens wtih their car. Very cool!

TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch


Here is a cool new TAG Heuer Professional Golf Watch designed for use on the golf course without affecting your swing. This watch also comes in black. It was designed with the help of Tiger Woods. The first issue of this watch was a limited edition Tiger Woods version that sold out immediately. I do not even sell watches and people were calling me trying to get one.

Fastest Police Hummer


A Texas sheriff hired an aftermarket company to customize this Hummer H2. The result is the fastest police Hummer in the world. They added a 7.0L V8 with a supercharger to produce a whopping 700hp. They also modified the supsension to handle the added power and even added 28" chrome wheels. Very cool although I am not sure any police department really needs this kind of power, a bit excessive I would say.

    New Ferrari 599 GTB


    Here is a retro looking Ferrari that was recently released. This is beautiful new Ferrari 599 GTB has an Enzo derived 611hp V12 engine. This may be one of the best looking cars that has ever come out of Maranello, Italy. I cannot wait to drive one! It is nice to see a super exotic that does not look like a futuristic spaceship once in a while.

    Bond's New Aston Martin DBS


    Here is a sweet pic of the new Aston Martin DBS that will be used in the upcoming Bond film "Casino Royale". Not sure if it will be coming to production as no plans have been announced. My guess is this is more of a concept car for the future. I thought the Aston Martin V8 Vantage was the best looking car in their lineup, now it is a toss up.

    2007 Audi S8 with Lamborghini Gallardo V10


    Here is a pic a the upcoming 2007 Audi S8 with the Lamborghini Gallardo V10 inside. The front grill and huge wheels make this car look absolutely bad ass. I want one of these really bad to replace or compliment my Audi A4.

    2008 Mercedes C-Class


    The upcoming 2008 Mercedes C-Class is a welcome change to the old design of the current C-Class. It will feature new engine options and hopefully AWD will be available with a decent base engine. This new look is very appealing and I hope it does not change much on the outside between now and 2008.
